Five sisters find themselves face to face with real life after the death of their father. In the second book, the girls try to understand how to survive in this stormy sea. Radical actions, insults, unjustified expectations, betrayal of loved ones - not only external circumstances, but also the relationships themselves become a challenge.

This novel is a slice of the early 20th century. The moment when the patriarchal world was breaking down. The destruction of the family nest, the home, which was considered an unshakable fortress, becomes a metaphor for the decline of the old order.
