Forty minutes by foot, Bekka was calculating. Fifteen on my bicycle, three in Papa’s car. The distance to the border. The time before the German army might arrive.
It is April, 1940. Bekka, a Jewish university student is expected to accompany her young brother out of German-occupied Denmark with the help of Peder – a childhood playmate now living in the Faroe Islands. But there’s a problem. Bekka will not abandon a closer friend, Ditte to the brutality of a Nazi prison, even though it means putting her own life at risk, and forces a harrowing escape.
The isolated Faroes, now occupied by the British, should be a safe refuge. Instead, Bekka finds herself at the centre of a deadly search for information of vital importance to Germany and Britain alike.
Her heartbreaking discovery of how events at home and in the Faroes are connected is a compelling, fast-paced story of one woman’s strength in adversity, tested loyalty, and bittersweet love.
