England nach Beginn des zweiten Weltkrieges 1940:Esther Hart, Frau eines Staatsbeamten, beschreibt in ihrem Tagebuch ihr Leben mit Einschrnkungen, ihre Sicht auf politische Ereignisse, ihren sozialen Kampf ... Links Reinhardt, ein Deutscher, lebt schon fast 40 Jahre in England und hat Angst vor einer Internierung. Da sind die beiden Baldini-Familien, emigriert aus Italien, die schon lange in England leben und arbeiten, nun aber in Bedrngnis geraten, weil Italien in den Krieg eintritt. Der sterreichische Jude Franz Niedermayer musste Frau und Tochter verlassen und nach England flchten, er wird bezichtigt ein Deutscher Spion zu sein. Ein deutscher Arzt wird in seiner Praxis verhaftet, ohne sich von Frau und Kindern verabschieden zu knnen ... Falsch- und Fehlinformationen von Regierung und Presse, sowie deren Hetze gegen Auslnder, weil diese fr den Feind spionieren, schren den Hass in der Bevlkerung. Vor dem Nazi-Regime geflchtete Menschen, deutsche Kriegsgefangene - darunter aggressive Nazis - und Juden, werden rcksichtslos zusammen in Lager gepfercht, was zu Unruhen fhrt. Nick Meyer beschreibt in seinem - sich an historischen Fakten haltenden Roman - oft auch mit hintergrndigem Humor, sehr anschaulich eine Maschinerie, die unbarmherzig das Zusammenleben von Menschen zerstrt.
