Cool weather, hot rhythms: Janne Mommsen's novel brings humor, emotion, and temperament to Föhr. Widower Jan Clausen, 38, lives with his daughter Leevke on Föhr. The thatcher is deeply rooted in the Frisian Caribbean, but eventually, everything becomes too much for him: his daughter's sassy teacher with her parenting tips - why can't she just leave him alone? Then Sina Hansen, once a prima ballerina at the Flensburg Ballet, opens a salsa dance school on her home island. Jan is persuaded by his daughter to join a class: he has talent! And how! Sina wants to send her best student to a salsa competition on the North Frisian islands. And with whom, of all people?.
