| Summary |
Based on the true story of a wealthy family that escaped the Russian Revolution in 1917 and emigrated to Finland where they lost their fortune and hope. The father, his only son, and his eldest daughter all committed suicide. The story is told from the perspective of twin sisters Eleanor and Irene who continued to live in the family's dilapidated home, Solgården (The house of the sun), until their deaths in 1987. |
