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.
About the book
The book contains many thoughts, in addition to the beginning, dedication, and conclusion. The thoughts were arranged one after another so that I could put as many thoughts as possible in this book. But I could not have made a suitable cover for this book before you approved the content of the book and agreed to publish it. I would also like this book to reach everyone who has attained love and sanctified it in their hearts. My dream had previously been to publish a book with my name on its cover, but not yet. This dream has become closer than ever to turning from a dream into a reality. This house was contacted about this book because it was known for being the first to accept the works of young people and elevate them to the highest level.
