A tattered chronicle of an Ostrobothnian family from the Kokkola area, whose members make deals, mishandle their love lives, are swept up by revivals and talk rudely. Through civil war, ideologies, the Winter War, fox farms and the clothing factories that came after, every generation makes the same mistakes again. Assembled from a jumble of texts and fragments, the novel makes reading itself an adventure.
