A Sister's Love: A Novel

A storm sweeps across the Lüneburg heath, rattling the ancient stones of a once‑grand manor and drawing the household into a quiet, candle‑lit evening. Inside, the kindly spinster Rosamond von Hegewitz makes her nightly walk through dim corridors, seeking the comfort of family as the wind howls outside. She finds young Marieken trembling in the hall, overwhelmed by the prospect of leaving the house that has been her world.

The tension rises when a fierce dispute erupts over a new maid, exposing hidden loyalties and the strict expectations that bound the family’s servants. Rosamond’s steady presence offers a rare steadiness, hinting at a deeper bond between the women that may reshape their futures. Listeners are invited into a richly described, atmospheric slice of German country life, where duty, affection, and the weather themselves shape the characters’ choices.
