Prachtige sfeerbeelden, en tegelijkertijd een naargeestig tijdsbeeld van een hoek van de Europese geschiedenis waar zelden aandacht voor is geweest.

The bestselling Richard and Judy Book Club pick The Sunday Times Bestseller and BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick ‘Dark, dramatic and full of danger’ - Daily Mail
The storm comes in like a finger snap . . . 1617. The sea around the remote Norwegian island of Vardø is thrown into a vicious storm. A young woman, Maren, watches as the men of the island, out fishing, perish in an instant.
Vardø is now a place of women . . . Eighteen months later, a sinister figure arrives. Absalom Cornet has been summoned to bring the women of the island to heel. With him travels his young wife, Ursa. In her new home, and in Maren, Ursa encounters something she has never seen before: independent women. But where Ursa finds happiness, even love, Absalom sees only a place flooded with a terrible evil, one he must root out at all costs . . .
For readers of Circe and The Handmaid’s Tale, Kiran Millwood Hargrave's The Mercies is inspired by real historical events. It is a story about how suspicion can twist its way through a community, about a love that could prove as dangerous as it is powerful.
‘Chilling and page-turning’ - The Times ‘Gripping’ - Madeline Miller ‘Took my breath away’ - Tracy Chevalier ‘A beautifully intimate story of friendship, love and hope’ - Douglas Stuart, author of Shuggie Bain ‘Something rare and beautiful’ - Marian Keyes

Jag tänker läsa den själv för det är påfrestande att lyssna på inläsarens ansträngda försök att uttala de norska namnen.

An extraordinary book about the hardship of life in Finmark and its consequences.

Very beautifully told so that you fall in love with places and people, together with both surprising twists and a simmering dread of the inevitable. Thought-provoking insight of how society's cultures and social codes develop and shape individuals - and how ungodly, cruel and violent phenomena arise in the embrace of religions. Especially for Norwegians to hear a foreign author's perspective on this historical time and Buckleys approach as reader- lifts the story to another level - if that's possible!

There is something truly eye opening and beautiful about this layered book. I loved the emotions that this provokes for the characters it was immaculately done, very beautifully described and comments on many larger societal structures
