Kun valkenee—
Anna Siren and Tapio Riikonen
"Kun valkenee" by Hilja Haahti is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds through the experiences and emotions of Dr. Mauri Koivu, who grapples with themes of loneliness, loss, and the complexity of familial relationships. The narrative highlights his introspection as he reflects on his past, especially concerning his estranged wife, Margit, and their children, Heli and Tapani. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Dr. Mauri Koivu in a quiet, introspective moment at home as he watches the evening settle over his surroundings. As he contemplates his life, he is haunted by feelings of solitude despite being surrounded by the remnants of his family. His children are on a journey to visit their long-absent mother, Margit, whose recent news of her mother's death elicits both nostalgia and anxiety from him. Simultaneously, there is a sense of anticipation building as Margit, cloaked in sorrow, approaches her destination, compelled by her desire to reconnect with her children after years apart. The opening expertly sets the stage for an exploration of longing and the connections that bind them, thus inviting the reader into a rich tapestry of emotional landscapes and relational dynamics.
