OverviewThe fourth installment in Roy Jacobsen's bestselling Barr�y Chronicles. After a long journey through Norway, Ingrid has returned to Barr�y, the island that bears her family name. The Second World War still casts its long shadow: former collaborators face cold shoulders, while others wish to leave the painful years in the past. When a boy arrives on the island, Ingrid assumes responsibility for him, and so he joins the Barr�y community, raised alongside Ingrid's own daughter, another child of war. As letters from distant friends arrive with news of a society undergoing dramatic changes, Ingrid must decide which stories to keep to herself, and which she should she bring to light. What kind of future does she imagine--for herself, and for the children?

In her spare time Ann is a volunteer narrator for Learning Ally (formerly Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic), and also enjoys sculpting, painting, long-distance running, and hanging out with her family in Northern California. Don Shaw, co-translator of Eyes of the Rigel, is a teacher of Danish and author of the standard Danish-Thai/Thai-Danish dictionaries.
