| Summary | "Kotkat" by Hilja Haahti is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young girl named Helmi, who is deeply connected to her music and her past, particularly her mother. As Helmi awaits the arrival of her uncle, Paavali Kotka, she reflects on her emotions, relationships, and her aspirations in life, suggesting themes of longing, identity, and the search for understanding. The opening of the novel introduces Helmi, who is playing the piano, lost in her own world of emotions and memories as she anticipates her uncle's visit. Despite her passion for music, she is faced with familial pressures and misunderstandings, particularly from her aunt, who does not grasp the depth of her feelings. As the narrative unfolds, Helmi's strong connection to her mother's legacy becomes apparent, alongside her desire for autonomy and a sense of purpose, creating a poignant backdrop that hints at the complexities of her relationships and her journey of self-discovery.
