The story is set against a backdrop of Baltic coast landscapes and revolves around a young woman named Eva, her family, and the interactions she has with a diverse cast of characters, including artists and intellectuals. The themes of youthful love, societal expectations, and personal growth pervade the narrative." "At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a moonlit setting on the Fuchs-spitze, where Eva struggles with her feelings amidst the beautiful yet tumultuous landscape. Her father, the Regierungsrath, and mother, the Regierungsräthin, embody contrasting perspectives on her emotional sensitivity, while Eva captures a fleeting affection for the aspiring poet Doctor Schöner.
