MORFAR PUSTET MED HAVET – WHEN GRANDPA BREATHED WITH THE WAVES
by Trude Teige
HER GRANDFATHER KONRAD was always a tower of strength for young Juni. Yet he never spoke of the place that shaped him the most. Only now does Juni learn where her loving grandfather learned to breathe with the waves.
1943: THE MERCHANT ship of brothers Konrad and Sverre is attacked in the Indian Ocean. In the hospital, Konrad falls in love with nurse Sigrid. But their happiness is threatened: Separated, they are taken prisoner. What future awaits them across the sea?
A NOVEL THAT shows what true humanity means and how the past shapes us for generations to come.
THE DRAMATIC STORY of Konrad, the grandfather from “When Grandmother Danced in the Rain,” told by his granddaughter Juni. A great sequel, but can also be read independently.
