Summary: "Kirsti: Sielunkuvaus" by Aino Kallas is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the character Kirsti, who reflects on her childhood memories and her relationship with her parents, particularly after the death of her father and the subsequent changes in her mother's demeanor.
