The opening of the novel introduces a summer Sunday morning in which Tuomas and Anna are on their way to church for their wedding announcement. Despite the celebratory nature of the day, Tuomas is burdened by an overwhelming sense of dread and apprehension about their future together. As they walk, their interaction reveals underlying tension and hints at Anna's emotional struggles.
