The opening of the novel sets a gloomy autumn scene in Helsinki, emphasizing the oppressive weather that mirrors Hilja's state of mind. It begins with the household's morning routine, highlighting Maali, the long-serving maid, and the rising tension in Hilja's thoughts as she receives a letter from her fiancé, Armas. While she wishes to indulge in the joy of their engagement, feelings of insecurity and jealousy arise, particularly regarding Armas's adventures in the wider world while she remains in a stagnant domestic sphere.
