    • 1996, Tuula Rotko, Saman taivaan alla, Tammi, →ISBN, page 26:
      Missään vaiheessa Anna ei harkinnut vauvan antamista pois. Päinvastoin, hän halusi pitää itselläään muiston siitä ihmeellisestä sadusta, jonka oli sodan keskellä kokenut, kävi miten kävi. Niinpä tytölle tuli kuin itsestään nimeksi Satu.
      At no point did Anna consider giving the baby away. To the contrary, she wanted to keep a memory of that miraculous tale that she had heard during the war, no matter what happened. And so the girl was named, as if by default, Satu.
