Summary: "Aunolan perhe: Kertomus merimiehistä ja porvareista Pohjanmaalta" by Heikki Impola is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the lives and experiences of a family from Ostrobothnia, particularly focusing on the characters Jaakko and his father, Matti. The narrative unfolds against a backdrop of rural life and maritime culture, exploring themes of familial duty, social expectations, and the tensions between tradition and progress. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to a frigid winter morning at Hirsikankaan, where the characters are preparing to fetch a mast tree from the woods. The meticulous Matti expresses his worries about the condition of the sled, while his son Jaakko navigates the tensions of their relationship.

The opening sets the stage for Jaakko's internal conflicts, his admiration for a neighboring girl, Leena, and his eventual journey into the bustling town of Raahe, contrasting the quiet rural life with the excitement of commercial and maritime activities.
