| Summary | "Kaksi" by Theodolinda Hahnsson is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Valva, a young woman navigating her life in a rural community, facing familial responsibilities and societal expectations, especially regarding love and marriage, particularly in relation to Tuomelan Mauri, a young man from a neighboring family. The opening of the book introduces readers to Valva as she observes the serene beauty of her surroundings while managing the household chores. We learn about her family dynamics, particularly her position as the eldest daughter, taking on the role of caretaker after the death of her mother. As Valva and her sisters prepare for church, the conversation reveals the expectations surrounding their potential marriages, notably Valva's unspoken love for Mauri. The narrative sets the tone for forthcoming tensions as Valva grapples with her feelings amidst societal pressures, foreshadowing the challenges that will arise regarding love, duty, and personal choice.
