A woman attempts to prevent herself from falling in love at sixty years of age, but her ardent admirer is not giving up that easily. The daunting experience of throwing her world upside down is mellowed by applying humor to the situation. Finally, she reasons that nowadays, we will all live to be ninety and people need to fill the final decades of their lives with fun and passion. As always, love wins the day, and a partnership between two hitherto stubborn and rather selfish people is formed, whereby new and exciting experiences are shared. However, Yvonne Taylor's advice to others of her age is not to be taken all too seriously

This is a wartime story about three young Norwegians, but only two of them survive. The story begins during World War II, when Germans were occupying the region. One life is characterized by peace and success, but the other is mired in pain and betrayal. What happens when their lives once again clash? Who is the traitor? Who is betrayed? And where does espionage fit in? Are Norwegian summers short?
