The Norwegian critics are very enthusiastic about The Eyes of Rigel - Roy Jacobsen´s third book about Ingrid Barrøy, and the book - and trilogy! - has already been sold to six countries!

Here you can read some of the very good reviews that The Eyes of Rigel has received:

Roy Jacobsen’s third novel about Ingrid Barrøy is a beautiful, poetic and at times brutal story. The entire little but great novel gives a tantalizing picture of life after the Great War, life after the catastrophe, life after love. Read it yourself, this exceptionally beautiful voyage from the ocean to the wooded inlands and back, amongst people with visible and invisible scars, war within peace.
