Three enigmatic women, Adi Enberg, Marina Noreg and Magdalena Freud Joyce, shape their times and are marked by them. Around the years 1939–1942 the story branches from Narvik to Spain. Mid-war, the young shipping heir Conrad Tandem travels across Europe from south to north; two decades later the sailor Frank “Keu” Tverrli is refused shore leave in the United States.
