Agnes

Summary

The narrator, a busy wife and mother in a provincial town, has adored Agnes since their school days for her eyes, her elegance and her freedom. When Agnes comes back, chic and admired, the two women's very different lives are set side by side, and the narrator begins to see what her idol's independence costs. A short novel on women's choices by the leading Finnish realist. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
