Summary "Liina" by Lilli Suburg is a novel written in the late 19th century. It centers around the title character, Liina, who is the daughter of a manor steward and explores her childhood experiences, friendships, and the complexities of social class in her interactions with those above her station. The beginning of the novel introduces readers to Liina's idyllic childhood, where she lives on a manor and finds joy in simple pleasures and friendships, particularly her bond with another girl named Auroora, despite their language barriers. As the story unfolds, elements of social class begin to create tension, showcased by Liina's interactions with a boy named Jansu, who expresses resentment towards the privileged German community due to his own family's circumstances. Through these initial chapters, themes of innocence, joy, and the harsh realities of class distinctions are established, setting the stage for the deeper emotional and societal conflicts that are likely to arise as the narrative progresses.
