Description
In 1902 Finland was under Russian rule, and Eeva's life was marked by loss and struggle. Orphaned as a child, she is sent to an orphanage before being employed as a servant to a widowed doctor, Thomas Eklund. As Eeva navigates her new life, Thomas begins to fall for her, but she has already committed herself to another boy from her past. Set against the backdrop of Finland's growing resistance to Russian rule, House of Orphans is a story of love, history and change. The novel reveals how ordinary lives can be shaped by extraordinary events, and how the struggle for power can have far-reaching consequences. This powerful tale explores the complexities of human relationships and the ways in which our choices can define us.
