"Silmä yössä: Romaani" by Maila Talvio is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with a poignant scene featuring a small girl named Anna and her mother, a pastor's widow, as they board a train crowded with a joyful wedding party. The narrative introduces themes of sorrow, love, and the complexities of human emotions intertwined with the festive atmosphere surrounding the wedding. At the start of the novel, Anna is in a weakened state after her father's passing, and her mother is deeply concerned for her health. They find themselves among well-dressed wedding guests, creating a sharp contrast between their grief and the joyous occasion. As they settle in, the mother reflects on their loss, worried about Anna's health and her own parental responsibilities. The train ride becomes a backdrop for revealing connections to prominent families, discussions of social status, and an exploration of human relationships, setting the stage for the intertwining lives and events that will unfold throughout the story.
