'Vaihdokas' Summary
Vaihdokas follows Jeriko, a young boy born into abject poverty in 19th-century Finland. Marked by superstition and ostracized by his community who believe he was replaced by Satan at birth, Jeriko faces a life of hardship. He loses his mother, the only person who loved him, at a young age and navigates a world of prejudice and isolation. Finding solace in the natural world and through music, Jeriko embarks on a journey of self-discovery and resilience, searching for acceptance and his place in a society that has rejected him.Book Details
