The highly anticipated third novel in a historical series that began
with International Booker-shortlisted The Unseen
The war is over, and Ingrid Barrøy leaves the island that shares her
name to search for the father of her daughter. Alexander, the Russian
POW who survived the sinking of the Rigel, has attempted to cross the
mountains to Sweden, and now Ingrid follows, carrying their child in her
arms, the girl's dark eyes and a handwritten note her only mementoes of
their relationship. Along the way she will encounter partisans and
collaborators, refugees and deserters, sinners and servants in a country
still bearing the scars of occupation--and before her journey's end,
she'll be forced to ask herself how well she really knows the man she's
risking everything to find.
Preceded by the International Booker Prize-shortlisted The Unseen and
the critically acclaimed White Shadow, Eyes of the Rigel is an
unforgettable odyssey and a captivating investigation of memory, guilt,
and hope.
