The story seems to center around the main character, Barbro Högden, a mountain girl who has come to the city, seeking work to support herself and her child. Barbro's struggles with society's expectations and her own longing for her mountainous home create a poignant narrative.  The opening of the novel introduces us to Barbro as she navigates her challenging life in a small city, working as a wet nurse for a wealthy family after failing in various domestic roles. As she reflects on her past and the stark differences between her rural upbringing and her current urban environment, her yearning for her child becomes palpable. Throughout the first chapter, the reader learns of her determination, resilience, and the societal pressures that ultimately lead her to consider parting with her son for his better prospects. Her encounters with others highlight her conflicts with societal norms, setting a rich emotional background for the narrative.
