Four women, four fates – connected by a blue ribbon Kiel 1886: For as long as Stine can remember, her grandfather's old puppet theatre has been the heart of her family's grocery store. It was here that she discovered her passion for storytelling. But instead of being on stage with her great love Thorin, as she dreamed of, she has to help out in the shop, even though fewer and fewer customers come. Meanwhile, Sanne wants nothing more than to study and construct buildings, like her grandfathers before her. After the death of her brothers, Regina is forced to enter into a marriage of convenience. But then it was decided to build a gigantic waterway that would connect the seas. A once-in-a-century project that not only changes the fates of the three women, but also the lives of Mimi, the daughter of the canal planner.  The prelude to the great saga by bestselling author Lena Johannson about the lives of four women and a unique structure: the Kiel Canal.
