On a warm day at the end of August the TV-photographer Birthe Johannessen is on her way to Hjartøy, looking for a grandma she until recently didn’t know existed. To Erle Christensen, Birthe’s visit means that events she’s spent a whole life keeping secret come to light. At the same time, she’s challenged to try to find out what happened before she came as a child refugee from Latvia right after the Second World War. Does she still have relatives in her hometown of Riga?
Anemone Blue is a standalone follow-up to Jorid Mathiassen's Where White Lilies Grow, but is set to the same Northern Norwegian island Hjartøy and readers will get a reunion with characters from the first book.
