About this listen

Occupied Norway, 1944. While the war rages on, Anni is surviving as best she can, contributing to the resistance whenever possible and standing firm without her sailor husband Lars, who she hasn't heard from in three years. Her daughter Ingrid is the bright spot in her life and Anni is determined to keep her safe and happy. However, when a German official is billeted at their house, the situation for them both becomes far more dangerous, and Anni faces an impossible choice.

London, 1952. In the years since she moved to live with her father, young Ingrid has been trying to make sense of the disappearance of her mother just as peace in Norway was declared. She desperately holds on to the fact that Anni promised she would always come back for her and, undaunted, sets out to discover what happened to her mother all those years ago.

What an incredible story. So evocative of the war time hunger, the poor rations, the dream of smelling real bread. The story is told from two perspectives, Annie and her daughter Ingrid. Annie is a member of the Norwegian resistance and Ingrid years after the war trying to find her mother and piece together what happened.
The historical details are a revelation on a country were one so little about. An emotional, heart warming, and surprising window into that world.

One of the best novels I read in a long time and it will stay with me for a very long time.

Amazing and unforgettable novel
