"Das Heinerle," die Hauptfigur dieses Buches, erlebt nach den ersten Jahren einer wohlbehuteten Kindheit mit seiner Mutter den Angriff auf Dresden im Februar 1945 und bei Kriegsende auf der Flucht durch das damalige Sudentenland die schrecklichsten Ereignisse, die sein weiteres Leben entscheidend mit pragen. Von ganz besonderer Bedeutung ist die kriegsbedingte Abwesenheit des Vaters, die das Verhaltnis der allein erziehenden Mutter zum Sohn pragt. Mit der Zeit wird aufgrund ihrer Hilflosigkeit in der Erziehung und dem taglichen Umgang mit dem Heranwachsenden ihr Verhaltnis immer problematischer und endet in der emotionalen Katastrophe. Dieses Thema wird in dem Buch eindringlich dargestellt. Der Autor beschreibt nicht nur ausserst realistisch die grauenvollen Geschehnisse wahrend der Flucht bei Kriegsende, er vermittelt auch mit viel tiefgrundigem Humor und Sarkasmus die vielseitigen Facetten des taglichen Daseins eines Heranwachsenden in der korrupten Nachkriegszeit, sowie Einblicke in die damaligen Vorstellungen von Moral, Ethik und Erotik
