Inhaltsangabe

Worlds of memory and myth intertwine on a windswept Baltic coast. In this vivid, character-driven tale, a young girl named Lina uncovers her true origins while the community around her navigates illness, fear, and hope. Through a cast of fishermen, a mysterious water-drawn fate, and a quiet man named Hann who charts his own path, the story explores family, loyalty, and the small acts that shape a town’s future.

Across Moorluke’s harbor and shadowed cottages, the layers of life unfold in intimate scenes—a dying pilot, a bold child testing belief, and a neighborly network that holds both danger and tenderness. The book blends stark realism with mythic suggestion, inviting readers to weigh what is given against what is earned, and to consider how a single idea can redraw a community’s map.




  • Meet Lina, a perceptive girl whose questions about family drive the drama forward.

  • Follow Hann Kluth as he confronts hardship and dreams of a more meaningful life.

  • Experience a coastal world where folklore and everyday struggle collide.

  • See how one bold plan transforms a town and its people’s fortunes.



Ideal for readers drawn to intimate, character-rich fiction with a touch of myth and a strong sense of place.
