Ein neuer, ein ganz anderer Ort

Sometime in the 18th century, somewhere in the Appalachians in a Puritan mission community, a pastor's wife claims to have once been a pirate. Anne Burleigh does not say it out loud, but quietly, just to herself – while there is no escape from her busy daily life in the much too cold region. Miss Cleave, the teacher of her children, encourages Anne to acquire knowledge through reading and storytelling. Can letters truly signify a departure? What role does the reticent Miss Cleave play – and what about her friend Rebecca, a Cherokee woman converted to Puritanism? Anne navigates through words, transformations, and her own desires. Is there a way back to the sea?.
