Synopsis

The third novel in a historical trilogy that began with the International Booker shortlisted The Unseen

The journey had taken on its own momentum, it had become an autonomous, independent entity, she was searching for love, and was still happily unaware that truth is the first casualty of peace.

The long war is over, and Ingrid Barroy leaves the island that bears her name to search for the father of her child.

Alexander, the Russian captive who survived the sinking of prisoner ship the Rigel and found himself in Ingrid's arms, made an attempt to cross the mountains to Sweden. Ingrid will follow in his footsteps, carrying her babe in arms, the child's dark eyes the only proof that she ever knew him.

Along the way, Ingrid's will encounter collaborators, partisans, refugees, deserters, slaves, and sinners, in a country that still bears the scars of defeat and occupation.

And before her journey's end she will be forced to ask herself how well she knows the man she is risking everything to find.

Goodreads review by Jolanta on May 11, 2021

⚫️ “ Iš padangių Barioja primena pėdą jūroje su keliais sužalotais pirštais vakaruose. Tiesiog niekas nėra regėjęs Bariojos iš dangaus, išskyrus bombonešius, nežinojusius, ką mato, ir Viešpatį, kuris, panašu, neturėjo jokio tikslo, kai jūroje paliko šį pėdsaką.” ⚫️ “…ji sekė pėdsakais, dėl kurių neab......more

Goodreads review by Olga on September 18, 2020

Z tej wyspy na morzu północnym nie można uciec – to kotwica, to stały punkt na mapie jej mieszkańców. Roy Jacobsen po raz ostatni powraca na Barrøy, wieńcząc tym samym swoją skandynawską trylogię. Po „Niewidzialnych” i „Białym morzu” nadszedł czas na „Oczy z Rigela”. Skończył się czas bezruchu i niep......more

Goodreads review by Aš ir knyga on May 10, 2021

Ilgai laukta trečioji, "Neregimieji" ir "Balta jūra", dalis. Kas skaitė šias knygas, supras mane. Tačiau... Man labai patiko pirma, šiek tiek mažiau - antra dalis. O štai ši, trečia, sukėlė šiokį tokį nusivylimą. Oi, kaip aš pavargau keliauti kartu su Ingrida! Kartu nešėm ir kuprinę, ir vaiką. Kartu......more

Goodreads review by Ugnė on June 05, 2021

Perskaičiusi galutinai užsitvirtinau, kad sala yra atskiras personažas, kurį iš tiesų ir įsimylėjau pamėgdama pirmąsias trilogijos dalis. Kadangi čia salos beveik ir nebelikę, įspūdis iš tiesų kitoks ir net sunku pasakyti, ar tikrai prasčiau/silpniau, kaip žmonės rašo, ar tiesiog ne taip, kaip tikėt......more

"Görülmeyenler" ve "Beyaz Deniz"den sonra Roy Jacobsen yine şaşırtmadı, serinin üçüncü kitabı da diğerleri kadar güzeldi. Savaş sonrası çocuğunun babası Rus'u arayan Ingrid Barroy'un peşinde dere-tepe dolaştık ama değdi.........more
