The story unfolds around Eva, a young woman who has recently lost her father, a beloved pastor, and finds herself navigating the challenges of life as she balances grief with her new position as the mistress of Soljala, a family estate. The novel explores themes of love, familial ties, and the struggle of a woman adjusting to her new life amidst societal expectations. "The opening of the novel introduces us to Eva, who is reflecting on her solitude following her father’s death." Seated by her window, she reminisces about her close bond with her father and the changes his absence has brought. As she contemplates her uncertain future, Juho, the heir to Soljala, arrives with an offer of help, sparking complex feelings within Eva. Their past friendship and the emerging undercurrents of love set the stage for Eva's impending decisions, particularly as she faces the realities of her new responsibilities and the emotional turmoil associated with her recent marriage to Juho, filled with contrasts between her cultured upbringing and his rustic lifestyle. The narrative hints at Eva's internal conflict and the challenges she must confront in adapting to her role as Soljala's new mistress. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
