Young Katrina leaves her safe home in Ostrobothnia and goes on Johan's journey, wants to trust the charming mouthpiece. From a housekeeper's daughter to a sailor's mook, child's feet on the feet, bread flour in the tight. And yet: strength and self-belief in the gaze. A modest life appears meaningful and grand.
A story about a strong woman, pride, coldness and sense of justice, but also about adaptation and love for family. To a family where growing up children are looking for their happiness and rights by knocking on the walls of a small cottage.
From the village community, where big landlords and small crofters live in different realities. About situations that are often seasoned with subtle humor. About people who are complicated, infuriating and absolutely wonderful.
When Katrina was published in 1936, it became a huge success around the world: It was translated into more than 20 languages, and the Swedish members of the Academy proposed Salmi's Nobel Prize three years later.
We later compared his style to the narration of Ilmari Kianno and Väinö Linna.
Sally Salminen's little cousin Anni Blomqvist has read her Katrina, the Myrskyluoto series breathes the same sea air with very different nuances.
The dramatization is based on Juha Hurmee's new translation from 2018.
