"Hiltu ja Ragnar: Kertomus kahdesta ihmislapsesta" by Frans Eemil Sillanpää is a novella published in 1923. Set during the summer of 1906, one year after Finland's great strike, it tells the story of Hiltu, a country girl working as a servant in a lakeside villa in Tampere. When the family's adolescent son Ragnar attempts to seduce her, the shocked girl drowns herself. The work caused moral controversy upon publication and complements themes from Sillanpää's earlier novel about Hiltu's family. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
