A growing unease which many of the inhabitants of the small village begin to feel is sparked off by the arrival of Karl and his 'mother'. They look strange and, in chapters of their own, we understand that they're aliens on a mission. What seems at first to be standard science-fiction fare becomes more interesting through some strong characterisation and a shift in the formula which allows for good, and even interesting, aliens.
