"The opening of the novel introduces the reader to a stormy night impacting the coastal village of Hilligenlei. It establishes a sense of foreboding as characters like Rieke Thomsen, an experienced midwife, and Hule Beiderwand, a lonely old man with deep faith, prepare for an impending childbirth. Amidst the storm, the narrative hints at the existence of a community marked by an old belief in the possibility of their town becoming a "holy land."
