Synopsis
The fourth installment in Roy Jacobsen's bestselling Barroy Chronicles.
After a long journey through Norway, Ingrid has returned to Barroy, the island that bears her family name. The Second World War still casts its long shadow: former collaborators face cold shoulders, while others wish to leave the painful years in the past. When a boy arrives on the island, Ingrid assumes responsibility for him, and so he joins the Barroy community, raised alongside Ingrid's own daughter, another child of war.
As letters from distant friends arrive with news of a society undergoing dramatic changes, Ingrid must decide which stories to keep to herself, and which she should she bring to light. What kind of future does she imagine—for herself, and for the children?
