"The long war is over, and Ingrid Barr²y, who we first met as a child herself in The Unseen, leaves the island that bears her name to search for the father of her daughter. Alexander, the Russian captive who survived the sinking of prisoner ship the Rigel and found himself in Ingrid's arms in White Shadow, attempted to cross the mountains to Sweden, and now Ingrid follows in his footsteps, carrying their child in her arms, the girl's dark eyes the only proof that she ever knew him. Along the way, Ingrid encounters collaborators and partisans, refugees and deserters, sinners and slaves in a country that still bears the scars of defeat and occupation--and before her journey's end, she'll be forced to ask herself how well she knows the man she is risking everything to find."--
Born in Oslo to a family that came from northern Norway, Roy Jacobsen (1954-2025) was the author of more than fifteen novels and a member of the Norwegian Academy for Language and Literature. The Unseen, the first of a series of novels about Ingrid and her family, was a phenomenal bestseller in Norway and was shortlisted for the 2017 Man Booker International Prize and the 2018 International Dublin Literary Award, selected as a 2020 Indie Next pick in North America, and named a New York Times New and Noteworthy book. The Kirkus-starred and critically acclaimed White Shadow, the second Barrøy novel, was published in North America by Biblioasis in 2021 and followed by Eyes of the Rigel in 2022 and Just a Mother in 2023.
