This book tells the story of pastor Petter Kummel, and his wife, Mona, in the late 1940s, living on a remote Finnish archipelago in the Baltic Sea. Petter arrives at his first post, settles in, and falls in love with the people, the harsh landscape, and the rural life. The narrative is a story of daily lives – fishing and farming, as well as the celebrations and tragedies.
The writing is beautiful and atmospheric. The characters are vivid. It is a study in contrasts between Petter, the dreamer, and Mona, the practical one. It reminds us to appreciate happiness when it arises.
It is not a book for anyone seeking action. The majority is a quiet, reflective story of community. I loved the first three quarters of this book. It takes an unexpected turn toward the end, which significantly changes the tone. It is a novel about the power of nature and the fragility of life.
