Summary: "Suudelma rakkaimmalle" by Berta Ruck is a novel written in the late 1920s. The book centers around a young woman, Helen Mundy, who navigates the complex dynamics of her home life, aspirations for a career in ballet, and the contrasting personalities that populate her world, including her cousin Top, who appears to be involved in a humorous, yet significant, family interaction regarding a peculiar inheritance condition related to beauty. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Helen as she watches the world outside her modest London home. The opening scene depicts her thoughts and feelings about the mundane surroundings and the familial tensions within her household, particularly focusing on her relationship with her mother, Mrs. Mundy, and her cousin, Top. Their discussions reveal their contrasting views on life and ambitions, painting the picture of a lively, if chaotic, household filled with humor and underlying affection. Helen’s passion for dance and desire to succeed are intertwined with the comedic yet critical perspective of her grandfather, who lays out an unexpected challenge concerning beauty that will influence the plot as it unfolds.
