When Siegfried suddenly falls seriously ill, putting an end to his academic ambitions, his life is set on a completely different course, taking him to Kentucky in the USA to learn about the tobacco trade and to a promising post in Shanghai, China. But it is there that tragedy strikes. Grethe, who has gone to Amsterdam to work, moves to France to be with her lover, first in Paris and then on the Riviera. Surrounded by young people who are involved in the political movements that proliferate in Europe at that time, she tries to support herself by working in her profession of remedial gymnastics. She also participates in the grape harvest in the south, which is the favored occupation of French students. After her lover is killed in the Spanish Civil War she settles in the south of France, where she meets and marries a White Russian émigré. The political and economic events of the 1930s and 1940s cast a shadow over Europe, and each member of the Dornbach family is affected by them in a different way.
The book was inspired by and based on actual documents and correspondence brought out of Germany by a relative of the author’s, who managed to gain refuge in England after Kristallnacht, the Pogrom Night, of November 1938. The book ends with an episode in a hostel for refugee children who have been able to escape from Europe on a Kindertransport train. An epilogue describes the subsequent events and what eventually became of the various protagonists.
