Reviews
Paatalo follows the lives of four families during World War II, both at the front and at home in rural east-central Finland. Character development is very good, which also faithfully brings out general characteristics of Finnish people.
Describes the joys and hardships of a large fatherless family in rural Finland during the 1930's.
