Description
Noria Kaitio's seventeenth birthday marks a turning point in her life as she is entrusted with the secret of a freshwater spring hidden deep within the caves near her village. For generations, her family has been responsible for its preservation. As Noria takes possession of this knowledge, she becomes more than just the guardian of ancestral treasure - she holds the fate of everyone she loves in her hands. As apprenticeship to her father, one of the last true tea masters, Noria's understanding of the spring's significance grows. But with great responsibility comes a daunting task: protecting the secret from those who would misuse it. The weight of this burden forces Noria to confront the complexities of her own identity and the delicate balance between tradition and modernity. In this poignant coming-of-age story, Emmi Itäranta weaves a narrative of emotional drama and wonderment, set against the backdrop of a small rural village and its hidden secrets.
