Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Portaankorvan emäntä: Kuvaus Ruotsin rajoilta" by Väinö Kataja is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Karoliina, the mistress of the Portaankorva estate, as she grapples with her emotional turmoil, reflecting on the tension between her desires and her current life. Set against the backdrop of a vibrant yet harsh natural environment, the narrative explores themes of identity, longing, and the struggle for freedom. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the stark landscape and environment surrounding Portaankorva, where the sounds of a powerful river persistently echo. The opening scenes depict Karoliina's life as she contemplates the arrival of spring and the personal struggles hidden beneath the surface of her daily existence, including her unfulfilled dreams and dissatisfaction with her marriage. Her inner conflict becomes evident as she listens to the river, which mirrors her own trapped emotions, while she recalls fond memories of her past and the people who have influenced her life. As she interacts with her maid Manta and her son Oskari, the complexities of her relationships begin to unfold, setting the stage for the emotional journey that lies ahead.
