BAKED APPLES BY THE SEA

  • Anne Barns masterfully captures the unique magic of the island of Juist during the cozy season of hot tea and baked apples.
  • An island mystery, a heartfelt wish, and the incomparable, comforting taste of baked apples topped with warm vanilla sauce.

“Take this necklace to the great love of my life, on the island of Juist.” This is the dying wish that nurse Caro promises to fulfill for her patient, Elfriede. Caro can sense that a deep, long-kept secret is hidden behind this unique piece of jewelry. Packing her warmest woolen sweaters and winter jackets, she travels to the magical North Sea island just in time for New Year’s Eve. She eagerly looks forward to a much-needed break - a time to finally focus on the things that always get lost in the hustle of daily life.

On her way, she crosses paths with Max, someone she knows from her past. For Max, however, this time of year is weighed down by deep pain, and when he fails to recognize her, Caro decides to keep her identity a secret. Yet, amidst the unfolding mystery of Elfriede's past, the roaring winter waves, and cups of warm apple punch, Caro and Max begin to drift closer together. Will Caro find the courage to give her own life a completely new direction?
