The story delves into the lives of impoverished characters struggling with hardship while contrasting their experiences with those of the wealthy. Central to the narrative are Jukka, a young boy facing the grief of losing his mother, and Kaisa, an orphaned girl raised by Ann, highlighting themes of poverty, care, and survival. The opening of the novel
sets a melancholic tone, detailing the severe illness of Jukka's mother and the burden it places on him and Kaisa, who are left to care for her. Despite their dire situation, moments of childhood innocence surface as they play together and hope for a brighter future. As Jukka ventures out to fetch milk, the reader is introduced to the stark realities of their life, particularly the relationships with the wealthy Herttala family and the struggle against the cold and poverty that envelops them.
