The book explores rural life and the struggles of a Finnish family, centered around the character Jaakko, who grapples with learning and the expectations placed upon him by his parents, Perttu and Liisa. The themes of familial duty, education, and the passage of time suggest a deep engagement with the societal norms of the period. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Kumpulanjärvi, where the family experiences a serene summer day while fishing and discussing their daily lives. Perttu, Liisa, and their son Jaakko are in a boat preparing to drop fishing nets. As they interact, concerns arise about Jaakko's lack of interest in learning and his apparent disconnection from the activities around him. The vivid descriptions of the landscape and their conversations highlight the simplicity of rural life, the dynamics of family relationships, and set the tone for Jaakko's coming-of-age journey amid parental expectations and the challenges of adult responsibilities.
