Quote: β€œAt this time of year, when it is light for so much of the night, the island feels like an unsleeping place, as if it is only ever dozing through the small hours and nothing could happen anywhere on it, or around it, without it noticing.”

Review: A wonderful and captivating novel that highlights isolation and acceptance. Stunningly short and precise, the beauty in how Ivar and John come to know each other in an almost impossible situation is profoundly written. A short, sweet, and wonderful story.
