Eigentlich wollte Rosa immer weit weg, doch nun, nach vielen Jahren in London, ist sie zurück und wird von verwirrenden Erinnerungen an ihre Jugend in einem humanistischen Internat, an ihre Mutter, die jung verstarb, und an alte Freundinnen, die nicht mehr mit ihr sprechen, heimgesucht. Hin- und hergerissen zwischen Nostalgie und Realität sucht Rosa die Wahrheit zwischen alten Geschichten.

Herland takes the listener on a fascinating journey into a utopian society comprised entirely of women. A society with no men also means no conflict, resulting in a war-free existence. It is a perfect world, but only if you are female. Three men set out on a journey into uncharted territory to discover for themselves if the legend of an all-female society is a myth or actually a reality. Tracking down the mythical realm of women poses plenty of challenges, but what they ultimately find is both enchanting and frightening.

The three friends Van, Terry and Jeff are about to embark on a mission which will change their lives forever. They have heard of a place where only women live but they are more skeptics than believers. However they really do find such a place. And all their assumptions and stereotypes are shattered. The society that women have created is working more than perfectly. There are no wars, no domination nor conflicts. The three self-invited guests are however not welcome and are held captive for a few months.

Das muss auch die gescheiterte Buchhändlerin Beatrice feststellen, als sie notgedrungen die Stelle im staubigen Antiquariat des ebenso verstaubt wirkenden Herrn Plana annimmt.
