Alone on Baraway Island, Ingrid lives after everyone has left, roaming the ruins, repairing what can be repaired, and catching fish and bodies that wash up on the island's shores. The young woman struggles to hide a big secret that could put her in danger, as the country witnesses the final months of World War II.
In this novel, Roy Jacobsen completes the story of Barawe Island, which began with "The Invisibles", with his delicate narration, natural images, and brief sentences that hide the truest and hottest feelings behind them.
“White Sea” is a novel about new beginnings that make their way from the ashes of a devastating war, about friendships and love, the faces of those passing by and the dead, and about people who remain where they are in the face of war, bidding farewell to the departed and receiving those returning, and monitoring the passing of days and the succession of seasons.

People wanted to escape the void
They built big cities
They became gears, hammers, bags and hats.
...
City people wanted to return to nature
When their bones were broken
They filled their balconies with flowers and trellises
They raised cats and dogs in homes.
...
They made the cities fortified and walled
It is surrounded by soldiers and guarded by aircraft.
...
When wars break out
Balcony roses will still survive
Battles rage in the mountains of the villages.
...
Peasants, harvesters and truck drivers will die
But the crops
It will still flow onto store shelves.
