Translated from the German.
"It is January 19945. The German army is retreating from the Russian advance and refugees are fleeing the occupied territories in their thousands, in cars and cart and on foot. But in a rural East Prussian manor house the wealthy von Globig family seals itself off from the world. Protected from the dpreivation and chaos around them, they make no preparations to leave until a decision to harbour a stranger for the night begins their undoing." -- Back cover
