| Summary |
"Hallatunturin lapset" by Laura Fitinghoff is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during a harsh famine year in northern Sweden, focusing on seven orphaned children who leave their home in search of a better life. Led by their oldest brother, Antti, they navigate the challenges of hunger and survival in a cold and unforgiving landscape. At the start of the narrative, the author vividly describes the devastating impact of a famine year in Norrlann, illustrating the dire conditions faced by families and emphasizing the stark contrast between good and bad years. The opening introduces the seven orphans, who are prompted to leave their home after the death of their mother, driven by a fear of being separated and sent to a poorhouse. As they journey through the wilderness, their dire situation is tempered by their sibling bonds and dreams of finding nourishment and safety, underscoring themes of resilience, hope, and the struggle for survival amid adversity.
