About This Book

Eine Dorfgemeinschaft wird von einer plötzlichen Flut überrascht; eine Familie rettet Kinder und wenige Habseligkeiten in einem Kahn und erreicht das Ufer, während das Dorf zwischen Rettung und Untergang schwankt. Die Erzählung schildert im engen, beobachtenden Blick die Mischung aus praktischer Fürsorge, Schuldgefühlen über Vergessenes und dem stillen Staunen der Überlebenden, deren Schicksal neben den stillen Zeichen der Natur, etwa einem hellen Kometen, steht.
