At the start of the narrative, the protagonist sets off on a journey in search of a perfect cottage where she can create a home full of beauty and tranquility, which starkly contrasts with the looming fears of war, as reports of impending danger resonate in the background. She finds a quaint old cottage that resonates with memories of her ancestors and begins to envision the life she will create there. However, amidst her domestic aspirations, the constant reminders of the war and her grief for her beloved, who is at the front, cast a shadow over her hope, prompting her to redefine her understanding of home and community while grappling with the implications of a world at war.
