What should a woman do after a divorce if her daughter is already an adult and lives separately, and she had to leave the apartment? A woman arrives in a port village, starts working in her brother's pub, settles in a house on the outskirts. She hardly ever had a sense of home, and can you consider that home where your mother does not open the door for you and makes you wait for hours on the stairs? Later, the woman herself left another house, the one in which her daughter was born, to her ex-husband. No wonder she calls herself a person without roots. But will the house on the outskirts of the village, where she finally lives alone at the age of forty-eight, but hides a gun under the bed, and what role does a strange man who knows how to set traps for martens play here?
This book is about the need for a home, about rooting, about the importance of memory, and also about stories that have become legends and cannot be forgotten.
