About the author
Sylvia Solki was the pen name of Siiri Sylvia Juva (née Juvelius), a Finnish writer and teacher born on December 8, 1886, in Antrea and later deceased in Helsinki on October 8, 1974.
She is identified in Project Gutenberg’s author records as Sylvia Solki, and the text of Kun sydämet eroavat explicitly connects that name with Siiri Juva. This suggests that Solki was the literary name under which at least some of her fiction was published.
Although only limited biographical detail was easy to confirm, the available records show a writer working in early 20th-century Finland whose books were published by Otava and whose fiction was still preserved and circulated long afterward through library and public-domain archives.
