The story centers around a young girl named Elli, who lives with her mother in a modest red-painted cottage known as Emmalan. As the narrative unfolds, it explores themes of family, social standing, and the struggles faced by a woman raising her child in a rural Finnish community, delving into the complexities of their lives and societal perceptions. The opening of the novel introduces the village's reaction to Emma and her daughter Elli, who have recently moved into the cottage. As villagers speculate about Emma's mysterious background and sustain rumors regarding her mother's ambiguous social status, the story portrays their daily routines and interactions. Emma's character is depicted as increasingly troubled, with hints of her life spiraling into hardship as gossip and judgments from the townsfolk intensify. In contrast, young Elli’s innocence shines through, despite being affected by her mother’s struggles. The narrative paints a picture of a community attempting to understand a situation that is far more complicated beneath the surface, setting the stage for conflict and character growth as the tale progresses.
