| Summary | "Leeni: Kertomus" by Hilda Tihlä is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Leena and her husband Erkki, who lead a simple life in a small cottage set against a backdrop of rural traditions and the changing seasons. As they navigate the joys and sorrows of their existence, themes of life, death, and motherhood emerge prominently. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Leena and Erkki, an elderly couple living quietly in their isolated cabin. The evening is stormy, and the couple is engaged in mundane activities until unexpected events disrupt their routine. When Leena's niece Aliina arrives in distress and subsequently gives birth, the serene yet emotionally charged atmosphere shifts dramatically. The opening lays the foundation for exploring the complex interplay of life and death, as it unfolds against the stark realities of rural life and societal expectations, encapsulating the poignant moments of love and loss that define the characters’ existence.
