Warm winter story
Holly’s arrival on the small island is somewhat of an adventure. Norwegian winter days are short so it’s dark very early. When she almost falls of a cliff but is rescued by the peculiar but friendly cat Frøy and his even more peculiar owner Tor it’s the start of a week which is different as what she expected.
She is put on leave from the London hospital she is working at and her brothers house on the island is, at least according to her brother Jack, the place to go to and get back to herself.
She meets locals and is in regular contact with her brother who is visiting his mother in law with his partner Ninni and their little daughter Rosie.
Holly goes fishing, finds out that Tor is not the hermit the island tells he is and discovers something else as well, she likes being on this island, with it’s peace and quiet.
She helps at the market and has lots of fun. But then there is this message from the hospital she was dreading for….she has to return to the hospital.
This is a winter warming story filled with lots of Norwegian traditions. Also a lot of Norwegian foods are explained and as somebody who lived in Norway in her youth I was longing back to the koselig Jul’s I’ve had back there!
