Romanen foregår i Hamborg i 1946. Vi er i den af briterne besatte zone, hvor oberst Lewis Morgan skal forestå og overvåge genopbygningen af den ødelagte by og af-nazificeringen af det besejrede tyske folk. Han får stillet et fint hus, ejet af en tysk familie, ved Elben til sin rådighed, og det er her, han skal bo sammen med sin søn, Edmund, og hustruen Rachael, der er i stor sorg over at have mistet sin anden søn i krigen. Som kotumen er, skal den tyske familie fraflytte huset, men Lewis insisterer på, at de bliver boende: en tysk enkemand og hans dybt traumatiserede og meget mærkelige datter. Og det er ikke ukompliceret, når to så forskellige og hårdt plagede familier skal leve sammen på det tidspunkt, hvor alt skal starte forfra.
