In the wake of World War Two, Marianne von Schneesingen returns to the grand, crumbling castle in which she had once played host to all of German high society. The widow of a resistor to the Nazi regime, Marianne has promised to remain a lifelong protector to her fellow resistance widows, making it her mission to bring the survivors into the fold of the castle once more. A powerful novel about the collateral damage of war and its effect on civilians, particularly women and children.
