It is seven years since Franz Tone awoke to find his wife had died. Now dependent on his wife's miserly niece, he is losing the will to live. Can he find love and fulfillment again?

Hermann Stehr (1864-1940) was a Silesian author of over thirty novels and novellas. He was awarded the Bauernfeld Prize (1910), the Fastenrath Prize (1919), the Schiller Prize (1919), the Rathenau Prize (1930), the Wartburg Rose (1932), the Goethe Medal for Art and Science (1932) and the Goethe Prize of Frankfurt-am-Main (1933), and appointed as a founding member of the Prussian Literary Academy (1926).

"Germany possesses in Stehr an artist with profound powers of portrayal. There are no precursors to his special style." - Gerhart Hauptmann, Nobel Laureate in Literature (1912)
