Set amidst the backdrop of World War I, it explores the lives of German and French characters caught in the throes of war. The narrative follows Max Keller, a German Red Cross surgeon, as he navigates his duties and complex emotions in a small French town captured by German forces. The opening portion of the book introduces us to the Herr Doktor, who is distanced from the exuberant young Uhlan officers celebrating their conquests, possessing a grim understanding of the war's brutality and suffering. As he contemplates the aftermath of the battle of Charleroi, we also meet Jeanne Rouannès, a determined French nurse caring for wounded soldiers on a Red Cross barge moored on the river. Their interactions reveal cultural and emotional tensions, hinting at deeper connections that can arise even in times of conflict. As Keller prepares to relocate a wounded officer, Prince Egon, to the barge, the contrasting perspectives of the characters foreshadow a poignant exploration of compassion, duty, and the personal costs of war.
