Summary "Rouva Katariina Boije ja hänen tyttärensä: Kertomus ison vihan ajoilta" by Frederika Runeberg is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Great Northern War, exploring themes of loss, fear, and resilience through the experiences of the titular character, Katariina Boije, and her daughters in a time of turmoil and conflict as they face the threat of invading forces. The opening of the novel introduces us to a grim and tense atmosphere early in 1712, as Katariina Boije prepares for evening prayer with her family amidst the looming threat of war. The narrative highlights the anxiety of her younger daughter, Sesilia, who is troubled by a spider she encountered, which serves as a metaphor for her fear of the encroaching violence and destruction. As the evening unfolds, we see Katariina's strong character as she reassures her daughters despite the dangers that may come, reflecting the inner strength required to navigate such perilous times. The family’s sense of impending doom flickers throughout the passages, setting the stage for the harrowing events that will follow as war encroaches on their lives.
