The sequel to the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted The Unseen "A gifted
writer, stylish, laconic and imaginative" Paul Owen, TLS "A
beautiful sequel to The Unseen, set around the remote &
unforgiving island of Barroy during WWII. A note-perfect
combination of taciturnity, austerity, passion and weather.
Sublime" - Ronan Hession, author of Leonard and Hungry Paul No-one
can be alone on an island . . . But Ingrid is alone on Barroy, the
island that bears her name, while the war of her childhood has been
replaced by a new more terrible war and Norway is under the Nazi
boot. When the bodies from a bombed troopship begin to wash up on
the shore, Ingrid cannot know that one will be alive and warm
enough to erase a lifetime of loneliness. She cannot know what she
will suffer in protecting her lover from the Germans and their
Norwegian collaborators, nor the journey she will face, wrenched
from her island once more, to return home. Or that, amid the
suffering of war, among refugees fleeing famine and scorched-earth
retreats, she will be given a gift whose value is beyond measure.
Reviews for The Unseen "Easily among the best books I have ever
read" Eileen Battersby, Irish Times "The Unseen is a blunt,
brilliant book" Tom Graham, Guardian "The Unseen is a towering
achievement that would be a deserved Booker International winner"
Charlie Connolly, New European Translated from the Norwegian by Don
Bartlett and Don Shaw
