Summary "Kurittaja" by Jonas Anton Dahl is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces us to a young girl named Ane, who is taken from her troubled home to a children's home, highlighting themes of neglect, social welfare, and moral development as she navigates her new environment. The novel is set against a backdrop of poverty and personal struggles, ultimately exploring the complexities of familial relationships and societal expectations. The opening of the book sets a dark and somber tone as we are introduced to the main characters, Vene-Riitta and Nilkku-Ola, a destitute couple living in squalor. Pastor Omeyer is disturbed by their behavior and resolves to send them to a correctional facility while arranging for their daughter, Ane, to be placed in a children's home. The narrative illustrates the couple's poor circumstances, emphasizing their neglect of Ane and the community's reaction to them, as well as Ane’s initial feelings of upheaval and sorrow at being separated from her parents. The portrayal of the children's home introduces a range of characters who will influence Ane's life as she confronts her past and attempts to forge a path toward a better future.
