Summary "Sukuperintö: Nuorisoromaani" by Veikko Korhonen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the life of Hannes Hakala, a young man grappling with the burdens of his family's legacy and the emotional scars from an unhappy childhood. With the impending loss of his childhood home due to debt, Hannes reflects on his troubled past, his father's alcoholism, and the weight of a "sukukirous" or family curse that he fears may dictate his future. At the start of the novel, Hannes sits by the gate of his family's farm, contemplating the sorrow of potentially losing his ancestral home due to his father's failures. As he recalls childhood memories filled with longing and grief, the narrative delves into the complexities of Hannes's relationships with his parents, particularly the profound impact his mother's death and father's behavior have had on his development. He struggles with feelings of despair and frustration, haunted by the fear of repeating his father's mistakes. The initial chapters paint a somber picture of Hannes’s inner turmoil as he resolves to break free from his family's cycle of despair and seeks redemption in his life choices.
