Her father dreams of building a quay that will connect them to the mainland, but closer ties to the wider world come at a price. Her mother has her own dreams - more children, a smaller island, a different life - and there is one question Ingrid must never ask her. Island life is hard, a living scratched from the dirt or trawled from the sea, so when Ingrid comes of age, she is sent to the mainland to work for one of the wealthy families on the coast. But Norway too is waking up to a wider world, a modern world that is capricious and can be cruel. Tragedy strikes, and Ingrid must fight to protect the home she thought she had left behind. 586 $a Man Booker International Prize (UK) : Shortlist, 2017. 650 0 $a Norwegian fiction $x Translations into English. 650 0 $a Families $z Norway $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Islands $z Norway $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Norway $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Bartlett, Don, $e translator. 700 1 $a Shaw, Don, $d 1934- $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111014551.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211005012733.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8DDE4C12774811E7923FA1BEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
