Islands of Mice
Sapphic historical fiction author Lucy Jacobs makes her debut with a gripping story of love and resistance set in WWII Norway during German Occupation.
NORWAY, 1942.
THE ISLANDS OF SMØLA ARE DARKENED - NOT JUST BY LONG NIGHTS, BUT BY BLACKOUT AND OCCUPATION.
Solveig Eik is bored of her small acts of defiance: tearing down propaganda posters, arguing with the collaborator Liv Sunde.
Then opportunity steps out of the shadows, and her dreams of heroism seem within her reach.
As Solveig navigates treacherous waters and her plans spiral out of control, she finds that all too often the line between patriot, hero and traitor is razor thin.

“This debut is way too good to be a debut! I loved Solveig! She's a perfect protagonist, both smart and strong-willed, with just a tiny bit of revolutionary naivety that I personally couldn't begrudge anyone."

What a fantastic read for a debut author. A 1940s Norwegian island tale during German occupation, and quite unlike any other war era set story I have come across.
