Eyes of the Rigel | Roy Jacobsen

bought this book unaware it was a 3rd book.
It tells a beautiful story of Ingrid and her journey to find the father of her child, Alexander. As she journeys further from her home Barroy she meets many different characters whom provide pieces to Alexander‘s story since he left Barroy. Not always helpful, truthful or trustworthy, she pushes forward with the weight of questions unanswered and Kaja (her daughter) on her shoulders.

Ingrid leaves an isolated Norwegian island, and goes looking for the father of her child, a Russian POW.
It's 1946 and everyone just wants to be left in peace to forget the war, and what they did and didn't do.

Unbearably bleak, heartwrenching.

From the sky, Barrøy looks like a footprint in the sea, with some crooked trees in the west. There is just that no one has seen Barrøy from heaven before, except for the bombers, who did not know what they saw, and our Lord, who does not seem to have any purpose in this trail he has created in the sea.

Next up! The Eyes of Rigel- the year is 1946 and Ingrid is going on a quest to find the father of her daughter. Her search will take her from the sea to the mountains and woodlands of Norway, across the border to Sweden and back again. We follow her as she makes her way south, meeting people along the way that in different ways have been affected by the Great War. #norway #norwegian #WWll #WW2
