| Summary | "Elämän kasvot: Romaani" by Maila Talvio is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the life of Liina Kareliin, a young woman facing the struggles of familial duty and her own desires amidst a backdrop of societal expectations and personal relationships. The opening of the novel introduces the setting on a cold morning in Porvoo, focusing on Liina, who is tasked with the discomforting job of killing a chicken for dinner. As she prepares for this task, a dynamic is revealed between Liina, her mother (who is physically frail), and her siblings, with the mother expressing concern for her daughters' marital prospects, particularly regarding Liina's relationship with the local baker, Benjamin Laurén. Themes of family obligations, societal scrutiny, and the quest for personal happiness are presented as Liina navigates her complex emotions and relationships, setting the stage for the deeper conflicts and resolutions to come.
