Description
In November 1800, after many months of separation, Sophia Mohr and Anton Auling were finally able to celebrate their engagement. However, a wedding date remained a long way off. The guild regulations stipulated that Anton had to continue his journeyman's journey and pass the goldsmith's master's examination before his marriage. Thus, the two only had a few weeks in Vechta before they were forced to part again. A period of lies, illness, and poverty followed. Sophia and Anton 's love was put to the test more than once.
In this third volume of her family saga, Gabriele Bagge interweaves historical events with the lives of her great-great-great-grandparents. In doing so, the reader gains touching and inspiring insights into the guild world of that era.
