About this book
A November storm beats against the von Hegewitz manor while eighteen-year-old Anna Maria checks the grain accounts and rules the household with a firm hand. When she dismisses a maid for meeting her sweetheart, Aunt Rosamond questions her severity. Anna Maria's attachment to her brother Klaus rests on a promise made to their dying mother, and she expects their life together to continue unchanged.
W. Heimburg sets this German novel among old rooms, family routines, and servants who notice their employers' distress. The contrast between Anna Maria's strict judgments and Rosamond's sympathy gives the opening its domestic tension. Later conversations expose the difficulty of offering comfort when feelings remain unspoken.
