The story takes place in a rural Finnish community, weaving together the lives of a new pastor and his family as they settle into their new home, Pikkupappila. The narrative centers around various characters, particularly the pastor's wife, Anna, and their children, as they navigate the challenges of adapting to their new environment and their family dynamics amidst past connections and community relationships. The opening of the novel introduces the character of Mrs. Harjula, who is driving along a snowy road and deep in thought about the local agricultural state. Along her journey, she encounters Mrs. Hilda Hanén. Their conversation reveals that a new pastor and his family are arriving at Pikkupappila, eliciting mixed feelings from the townsfolk due to past ties with the previous clergy.
