The narrative centers around the main character, a young girl named Keetje, and her experiences growing up in a difficult environment, revealing insights into her family's dynamics and the harsh realities of their lives. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Keetje’s family and their circumstances marked by severe poverty and hunger. The opening scenes paint a vivid picture of the children's childhood experiences, from joy in simple winter activities to the torment of bullying due to their appearance and social status. Keetje reflects on her memories, detailing her parents' struggles, their fight against poverty, and the toll it takes on their lives.
