The most diverse people have spent their holidays at the holiday home "Dünenrose," which is why the cleaning lady remains unfazed: she knows the quirks of the guests. However, when the woman in the red cardigan suddenly reappears, it does cause some excitement. The following weeks are no less turbulent. A single mother arrives, who gets caught up in the romantic entanglements of her eldest son and fails to notice what her youngest is secretly doing in the blue room. Martine, whom we already know from "Inselgäste," also returns to the cottage. She is expecting her new lover and is shaken when her mother reveals a long-held secret. In her sun-warmed novel, Vonne van der Meer tells of the ups and downs of life and its exceptions.
