Hvidsten Kro mellem Randers og Mariager var centrum for en modstandsgruppe, der opstod i marts 1943. Gruppen blev ledet af kroejer Marius Fiil, og opgaven var at modtage våben og sprængstoffer nedkastet fra engelske fly. Hvidstengruppen bestod af 15 mænd og kvinder, heriblandt kroejerens søn og svigersøn samt to af hans døtre. Som familien var fælles om at drive kroen, blev den også fælles om modstandsarbejdet. Og deres indsats blev et
symbol på modstandskampen, som en folkelig dansk bevægelse i samarbejde med de allierede. Mustard Point er navnet eller rettere kodeordet for nedkastningsstedet. Erik Knoths roman er baseret på faktiske hændelser.

Blythe O’Connor har ikke haft nogen god opvækst. Hendes mor elskede hende ikke og forlod hende og Blythes far, da Blythe blot var et barn. Da Blythe selv bliver gravid og skal være mor til en datter, vil hun gøre alt, for at historien ikke skal gentage sig. Problemet er bare, at datteren Violet ikke er så nem at elske. Hun smiler nemlig aldrig, og hver gang Blythe holder hende, skriger den lille baby, som blev hun stukket med nåle.
Blythes mand, Fox, er overbevist om, at det er noget Blythe forestiller sig, da Violet ikke er andet end et henrivende lille barn i sin fars arme. Faktisk er kontrasten mellem deres oplevelser så enorm, at Blythe er overbevist om, at lille Violet bevidst er ude på at drive hende til vanvid.

8vo, 32 pp. Libretto for an opera freely adapted from Gustave Flaubert's novel 'Salammbo'. Printed in 200 numbered copies. Opera is a complex and ever-fascinating art combining visual drama with song and music. The basis of all operas is the libretto which provides the composer both with dramatic action and human characters who respond emotionally to the events of the action. 'Salammbo' is an opera with a powerful plot, a focused narrative drive, clearly outlined characters and Oriental scenery full of splendour and pageantry. The action is staged in ancient Carthage 240 BC where the drama of love and sacrifice, rebellion and war culminates in the hair-raising thrill of a magnificent ending. 'Salammbo' may be set to music either by a composer of musicals or by a composer of operas.
