This play, written in the early twentieth century, depicts life in an orphanage. The language is descriptive and reflects the era, focusing on domestic settings and character interactions. For a learner of Finnish, the vocabulary is rooted in everyday household objects and personal traits. The dialogue is relatively straightforward, though it requires attention to the nuances of character temperament. It is a suitable read for those interested in historical drama and the development of natural, conversational Finnish sentence structures.

Questions about this book
What level of Finnish do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 1 h 29 min at a native pace, spread over 4 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
