Every summer, Hans would set to work to dam the stream.

  • Role: setting
  • In the book: Hans, who walked the beach fully dressed, dammed the stream each summer with family and strangers to move its estuary. Agneta recalls swimming and the jetty.
  • Why it matters: Shows his playfulness and the summers of his last year; the cottage and beach anchor the afterword.
