About this book
In the late 19th century, societal shifts in Finland brought attention to the plight of vulnerable children. "Kurittaja" by Jonas Anton Dahl delves into the life of Ane, a young girl uprooted from her troubled family and placed in a children's home. This poignant novel explores the stark realities of neglect and the struggle for moral development within a system designed to protect yet often fails its charges. With vivid portrayals of the complexities of social welfare and the quest for belonging, Dahl's narrative resonates deeply with students and civic activists alike. As Ane faces the challenges of her new environment, readers are invited to reflect on the broader implications of childhood care and societal responsibility.
