这座高大的房子坐落在海边村庄的一座山上，有一个磨坊、一个菜园和一个装满物资的谷仓。

Caro和她同父异母的弟弟Pauly有一天来到这里，看到这里由Grandy和他的孙女Sally照看。他们并不完全是一个家庭，但他们学会了一起生活，并相互照顾。

但是，即使是病重的外公对如何生存的认识也是有限的，而且，如果风暴来临，这可能是不够的。

深受感动......以现实为基础，以这个不同群体的平凡生活为基础，我不得不借助我的手指细细阅读其中的部分内容。

Perched on a hill above a village by the sea, the high house has a mill, a vegetable garden and a barn full of supplies.

Caro and her younger half-brother, Pauly, arrive there one day to find it cared for by Grandy and his granddaughter, Sally. Not quite a family, they learn to live together, and care for one another.

But there are limits even to what the ailing Grandy knows about how to survive, and, if the storm comes, it might not be enough.
