Produktbeschreibung
A breathtaking tale of motherhood, family and survival in war-torn Norway. In the serene beauty of the Norwegian fjords, Asta Nilsen's world is suddenly shattered when German forces invade her homeland. Caring for her ailing father in their remote red cabin while her brother flees to Scotland to join the Allied forces, Asta struggles to survive under the harsh realities of occupation. When Asta finds herself with child after an illicit relationship that will forever mark her as a traitor in her neighbours' eyes, she makes the heart-wrenching decision to leave Norway to protect her daughter. But fate has more challenges in store when young Kari is stolen from her and prepared for adoption in Australia. Spanning the occupied fjords of Norway to the rubble of post-war Germany and the streets of Stockholm, this sweeping novel explores the impossible choices faced during wartime and their lingering consequences. In the chaos of war, can Asta find her daughter and bring her home? A deeply moving story of resilience, sacrifice and the enduring power of love against the backdrop of one of history's darkest chapters.
