The story revolves around various characters in a small rural setting, particularly focusing on Posti-Iisakki, a postman with a deep-rooted connection to his community, and the inspirational news that finally reaches Lainio regarding the local pastor's promotion. Through this narrative, the book explores themes of longing, community dynamics, and the search for personal fulfillment. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Posti-Iisakki, a small, busy man who brings news of great significance to the people of Lainio, particularly regarding the local pastor Stark's successful move to a bigger parish. His character is animated and filled with anticipation as he navigates the village and interacts with various townsfolk, reflecting the vibrancy of local life.
