The story unfolds in the year 1306, centering around the life of Kristiina, the daughter of Lauritsa Bjørgulfinpoika, as she navigates her childhood in a rural Norwegian landscape steeped in tradition and familial duty. The narrative captures the challenges and joys of rural life, particularly emphasizing the dynamics within her family and the emotional landscape shaped by loss and resilience. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the household of Lauritsa and Ragnfrid, as they settle into their home at Jørundgaard following the inheritance of land after Ivar Gjesling's death. The family is marked by personal tragedy as Ragnfrid mourns the loss of their three infant sons, while Kristiina, their surviving daughter, is filled with curiosity and charm. As she embarks on adventures with her father, Lauritsa, the narrative paints a vivid picture of the rural environment, community interactions, and the spiritual undertones of their existence. Early scenes depict pastoral beauty through Kristiina's anticipations and innocent explorations, highlighting a juxtaposition of her imaginative world against the sobering history and responsibilities that beckon her family.
