About this book

Ingrid Barrøy is born on a small island off Norway’s north-west coast, inhabited by a single family whose ambitions remain subject to land, weather and the sea. Her father dreams of building a quay that will connect them to the mainland, but every opening to the wider world carries a cost. Roy Jacobsen’s spare, luminous novel portrays work, kinship and endurance in an isolated community while following Ingrid towards a life larger than the island can contain. Originally written in Norwegian as “De usynlige”, the work appears here in an Arabic translation by Mohammad Habib.
