Finnish Villihanhet $aHelsinki :$bHolger Schildts Kust.Oy, $c1926. Tuula Temonen and Tapio Riikonen "Villihanhet" by Martha Ostenso is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a rural community and focuses on the Garen family, particularly the complexities and dynamics influenced by Caleb Gare, the authoritarian patriarch, and the impact this has on family members, especially the new schoolteacher, Lind Archer. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the Garen family and their anticipation of Caleb Gare's return, which creates a tense atmosphere. Lind Archer, the new schoolteacher, arrives and feels an immediate sense of unease as the family members exhibit varying degrees of anxiety and tension in their interactions, particularly with their father Caleb. Lind's observations reveal a household fraught with unspoken resentments, power struggles, and the oppressive nature of Caleb's control, setting the stage for both personal and social conflicts that will unfold in the narrative. The opening also hints at themes of isolation, gender dynamics, and the struggle for individuality against the backdrop of familial obligations.
