Lija

The bride, about eighteen winters — daughter of the clothier Sten and Bela, in love with Jur, the dyer's son. Stubborn and warm, she walks between the feuding houses as if there were no wall between them, and it is her wedding that is meant to stitch the two families together. She says quickly and plainly what she sees, and she alone asks the cook Olma personal questions. Her wedding to Jur takes place in the guild hall despite the first snow.
