| Summary |
"Elämän vaihteessa: Kertomus" by Maiju Lassila is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the childhood of Juko Pynninen, a three-year-old boy who is adored by his mother but faces the challenges of growing up. The narrative dives into the complexities of childhood dynamics, sibling rivalry, and the transition from infancy to a more independent phase of life. The beginning of the story introduces Juko, a plump, strong-willed child who has recently been weaned from his mother's breast while navigating new emotions and interactions with his siblings, particularly his older brother, Kepu. As Juko grapples with his independence and struggles with feelings of jealousy and frustration, the text vividly depicts the nuances of familial love and rivalry. With a playful yet poignant tone, Lassila paints a portrait of childhood as a critical life stage filled with conflicts, emotional turmoil, and the urge for acknowledgment and affection from parents.
