Inseln im Winde

It depicts the life of the Hallig inhabitants at the end of the 19th century, their never-ending struggle against the rigours of the North Sea. Every storm tide still gnaws at the edge of the break-off. Farsighted people want to protect the Halligen with dams and stone edges. Their efforts are the focus of the novel. It also describes an everyday life full of worries and hardships, full of small joys and moments of happiness: the normality of a bygone world that has not existed for a long time. In the detailed epilogue, the editors explain the historical background and the author's life.
