| Summary | "Muuan äiti" by Maila Talvio is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the life and emotional struggles of Hovineuvoksetar Sophie Palmblad, a mother who is deeply attached to her son, Allan. As Sophie navigates the complexities of her seemingly idyllic home life, she is oblivious to the darker rumors surrounding her son, which threaten to shatter her perceived happiness. At the start of the story, the reader is introduced to Sophie, who reflects on her love for her home and her children, especially Allan, who exhibits great promise as a young man. The joy in her life, however, is overshadowed by an unsettling feeling when a visitor raises concerns about Allan's behavior. As Sophie grapples with her emotions and the hidden troubles that come to light, the tension escalates. The opening chapters establish Sophie’s devotion to her family, her denial of troubling rumors, and the quiet undercurrents of fear and doubt that threaten her family's unity.
