"Embedded in pink cotton wool lay a tiny silver heart. And when she drew it out with delicate fingers, there finely engraved stood the name 'Kathrin' inscribed on it. No, that there was such a glorious thing. ... Ah, what was more beautiful now? The silver heart or the new life which he in there had gifted her? Who could know? Who could work it out?"

Georg Julius Leopold Engel (1866-1931) was a German author and dramatist some of whose works were banned and whose grave was desecrated by the Nazis. A number of his novels were bestsellers, and some were adapted into movies during his own lifetime.

Review

This book should be read! It is a simple story of the warmest fullness of life and magnificent atmosphere! Hidden threads of dreamy lyricism wind themselves through the material and give it rhythm. The inner compulsion of the peculiar hero is a little masterpiece of psychological analysis. The other characters are delightfully drawn, along with the phenomena of the North German coast which Engel knows how to describe in ever new lights and with a sophisticated art of portrayal.

Good Lord, you like twice as much to grasp in these stormy times a book of such lively health, such homely humour, and so full of human goodness - Fedor von Zobeltitz in Berliner Tageblatt
