Kuin unta näkeväiset...

A series of diary entries by a woman in a highland sanatorium chronicles her struggle with a wasting illness through daily routines, medical visits, and prescribed therapies. She records intense self-examination, prideful defiance, and deep loneliness alongside a persistent craving for love and hope. Observations of mountains, winter light, and the small local community — pastor, teacher, and housekeeper — punctuate reflections on correspondence, birthdays, and memory. The entries move between stark despair and delicate appreciation of landscape, probing resistance to pity, uneasy attachments, and the tension between yearning for consolation and resignation to physical decline.
