Every year Elisabeth Danzinger – an unassuming yet resolute middle-aged woman – travels to the Danish island of Mn to spend one week at a lavish hotel called The Tamarisks, which was once, fifteen years ago in 1945, her family’s beloved second home. As Elisabeth revisits the places of her childhood, her family’s devastating history is slowly revealed and we soon discover her annual pilgrimage is part of a long-standing family promise to meet again in Mn after the War. A promise that only she has fulfilled, and she has no reseon to suspect this year will be any different from all the others.
