- 2018, Heidi Jaatinen, Koski, Gummerus, →ISBN, pages 198–199:
- Stiina meni ja sulki Hilja Esterin syliinsä, miten erilainen tämä Hilja oli kuin Kosken Hilja. Hilja Ester tuli nimeensä. Tytön kasvoilla arvokkuus, sisar oli sinut kohtalonsa kanssa, silmät kuin tähdet.
- Stiina covered Hilja Ester in her lap. Just how different this Hilja was from that of Koskis. Hilja Ester became her name. On her face was a kind of dignity, her sister had come to terms with her fate, her eyes like stars.
