The author first describes the typical Finnish scenery with exquisite brushstrokes: the azure lakes of the "Land of Thousand Lakes", the towering mountains with lush forests, the beauty of the ever-changing sunshine, and the unfathomable sky scenery constitute a colorful picture. It is against this rich and colorful background that different characters show various destinies. In the novel, some people have gloomy fates, while others are harmonious and happy, and this carefree and happy life is unique to summer. The author's outlook on life is very clear here: striving for freedom, abundance and perfection. It is true that the characters in the novel are not as deep as the characters in "The Girl Celia", but these characters are lively and relaxed, which harmonizes organically with the beautiful pictures in the work.
