Summary: "Viimeiset luostarinasukkaat: Romaani" by Kyösti Wilkuna is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story delves into the perspectives of various characters, particularly focusing on the interactions and conflicts surrounding a small convent community in Finland during a time of societal change and religious tension. Central to the narrative are figures like Isä Mikkeli, the local priest, who grapples with his duties and relationships within his parish, and young Tuomas, whose baptism sets off a chain of events that highlights the challenges of tradition amidst shifting beliefs. The opening of the narrative introduces a lively setting where Isä Mikkeli and the kanttori (cantor) engage in a drunken conversation, revealing their personalities and concerns about their roles in the community.
