But Ingrid is alone on Barr y, the island that bears her name, and the war of her childhood has been replaced by a new, more terrible present: the Nazi occupation of Norway. When the bodies from a bombed vessel carrying Russian prisoners of war begin to wash up on the shore, Ingrid can't know that one will not only be alive, but could be the answer to a lifetime of loneliness--nor can she imagine what suffering she will endure in hiding her lover from the German authorities, or the journey she will face, after being wrenched from her island as consequence for protecting him, to return home. Or especially that, surrounded by the horrors of battle, among refugees fleeing famine and scorched earth, she will receive a gift, the value of which is beyond measure. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe highly anticipated follow-up to Roy Jacobsen's International Booker and Dublin Impac Award-shortlisted \u003cem\u003eThe Unseen\u003c\/em\u003e, a \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e New and Noteworthy book, \u003cem\u003eWhite Shadow \u003c\/em\u003eis a vividly observed exploration of conflict, love, and human endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoy Jacobsen is a Norwegian novelist and short-story writer.
