About this book
In the late 19th century, societal norms around motherhood and familial duty were undergoing significant scrutiny. "Lapsi" by Anne Charlotte Leffler delves into these themes through the lives of Rolf, a devoted physician, and his wife Niina, whose innocence clashes with the harsh realities of their world. The novel intricately examines the emotional landscape of love and loss, revealing the complexities inherent in the bond between parent and child. With its exploration of maternal expectations and the struggle for personal identity, "Lapsi" resonates deeply with students, civic activists, and historians alike. This poignant narrative invites readers to reflect on the enduring impact of societal pressures on individual lives.
