"Uhri: Perheromaani" by Selma Anttila is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the life of a mother, exploring her thoughts and emotions surrounding motherhood, love, and existential questions about life and sacrifice. The opening sets the stage for a deep dive into her psyche as she contemplates her role within her family and the wider implications of being a parent. At the start of the novel, the protagonist is in a warm room where she watches over her sleeping baby, Taju. She reflects on her initial apprehensions about motherhood, wrestling with her feelings of joy and fear. The narrative reveals her complex relationship with her husband, Heikki, and her discussions about life and existence reveal her longing for their child to surpass both her and Heikki in potential. As she navigates her daily responsibilities and emotional turmoil, the protagonist’s interactions with her child and her philosophical musings suggest that her experiences as a mother are intertwined with broader themes of sacrifice and the search for meaning in life.
