| Summary | "Yölintu : Kuvauksia menneiltä ajoilta" by Maila Talvio is a historical narrative likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a rural setting, primarily focusing on the lives of the inhabitants of Yölintu manor, including the young lord Jaakko von Toll and the struggles they face amidst personal and environmental dangers, such as wildfires and poverty. The novel explores themes of family, societal roles, and the tensions between different social classes. The opening of the book introduces the setting of Yölintu manor, where the youth and beauty of the von Toll family are portrayed against a backdrop of foreboding events, starting with the ominous atmosphere created by a devastating fire. The narrative captures moments of daily life, revealing the dynamics among characters such as the ever-vigilant eversti, his wife Mathilda, and their children, including Jaakko, who appear to carry a complex legacy.
