| Summary | "Yksillä juurilla" by Beatrice Harraden is a novel written during the early 20th century. The narrative delves into the lives of an elderly couple, exploring themes of marital discontent, memory, and the hopes and regrets that accompany a long life together. The story unfolds in a small, intimate setting where the couple reflects on their past as they face separation. The plot centers on Tuomas, a watchmaker, and his wife, Volumnia Webster, who are preparing to part ways after more than thirty years of marriage. The couple, despite their shared history, confront their lack of happiness and unfulfilled dreams. As they reminisce over their lives, amidst heavy rain and the arrival of a mysterious, down-on-his-luck musician, deeper issues of regret surface. The musician becomes a catalyst, prompting Tuomas and Volumnia to reassess their past and the choices they have made. Ultimately, the story examines the complexity of human relationships, the weight of memories, and the desire for connection, leading to a poignant conclusion that emphasizes the need for understanding and forgiveness.
