Ude på landet ovre i det nordvestlige Jylland, hvor himmel brydes med hav, er livsrytmen anderledes end bag voldene, længslen og håbet dybere og melankoliens efterklang længere. Her folder skæbnerne sig ud i bredden, og det som for et nøgternt øje tager sig umenneskeligt ud bliver selvfølgeligt som et ørkensyn eller en sjælens spejling mellem klitterne.
Bogen indeholder tre historier fra en barsk egn i det nordvestlige Jylland, og hver af dem bygger på noget autentisk: På ordlyden af et fæstebrev, på oplysninger i en kirkebog eller på en tro.
