Thomas, a river boatman, has ended up far from the rivers, in the Lower Saxon provinces, where restlessness drives him out of the house at night. Near the end of his life, over ten rainy nights, he recalls the stages of the journey life has sent him on. Again and again he has met people dressed in black, the very dark company his grandfather once warned him about. Memory and an eerie present run through the book like a river through an empty landscape, in a music written in a minor key.
