Summary "Nuoren naisen kohtalo" by Theodor Fontane is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Effi Briest, a young woman navigating the complexities of love, societal expectations, and her eventual marriage to the older Baron Geert von Innstetten. As Effi's life unfolds, themes of personal desire versus societal duty emerge, painting a poignant picture of her struggles and aspirations. The opening of the novel introduces us to Effi and her mother as they sit in the garden of their estate, engaged in sewing an altar cloth. Through a lively exchange filled with playful banter and reflections on their lives, we learn about Effi's spirited personality, her feelings towards her impending marriage to Baron Innstetten, and her interactions with friends. The passage emphasizes the warmth of familial bonds, the expectations placed on Effi as a young woman, and hints at the romantic tensions that will soon shape her future as she prepares to meet her fiancé for the first time.
