E-text prepared by Tapio Riikonen
"Vihdoinkin kotona" by Hector Malot is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to a young girl named Perrine and her ailing mother as they arrive in Paris, having traveled a long distance in hopes of a better future. Their journey is marked by hardship and poverty, and the book explores themes of resilience, familial love, and the challenges faced by those living on the fringes of society. At the start of the book, we find a bustling scene outside a customs checkpoint in Paris, where various carts await inspection. Perrine is introduced watching over her donkey, Palikar, amidst their collection of tattered belongings. We learn about the strained relationship between Perrine and her sick mother, who struggles with her health and the burden of their impoverished circumstances. Perrine attempts to care for her mother while also navigating the complexities of their new environment and contemplating their destination in search of a better life. This opening sets the stage for their challenges ahead and highlights Perrine's determination and love for her mother. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
