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.
My journey with my job:
My journey with my job, a journey of a life of work and hope after a journey of knowledge and a dream, a journey for which I prepared myself with loyalty and love for my country.
Without specifying distances, times or stations, patience accompanied effort and effort, and I tasted the pleasure of giving and giving. Its stations were many and varied, and between its stages and in its breaks I lived experiences of work and life, which I narrated to you in these words and which contain many key concepts and experiences.
