 The following year, Utrio published her first novel "Kartanonherra ja kaunis Kirstin" ("The Lord of the Manor and the Beautiful Kirstin"), which was published by Tammi.The title was given by the publisher, and Utrio did not like it herself.The book was, however, a start for Utrio's numerous other historical novels, which have so far been published at a steady pace, usually one per year.
