| Summary |
"Kertoelmia" by Cornelia Levetzow is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows a young boy named Erkki, who finds himself in a complex emotional landscape after the loss of his mother and the subsequent challenges of living in a new household. The themes of abandonment, the search for love and belonging, and the struggles of personal identity are central to the story as Erkki navigates his place in a family that is not his own. At the start of the novel, we meet Erkki, a small boy described as feeling abandoned and different from those around him. He is taken in by a guardian who seems well-meaning but stern, amid a new family that includes a mother and two siblings. The dynamic within the family quickly unfolds as Erkki attempts to find acceptance and forge connections, grappling with feelings of longing for parental love and the scars of his past. The opening sets the stage for a deep exploration of Erkki's inner turmoil and growth as he seeks to understand both himself and the family that has taken him in.
