In the Sign of Frøya

In the Sign of Frøya was Marit Nicolaysen’s first novel. We meet 24-year-old Sol, who is looking back on her journey down the continent in search of her missing brother. It becomes an odyssey through a world of drama, eroticism, crime and political violence, a world so different from the one she is used to, her entire social and ethical platform is put in perspective. Brutally, she is forced to question all her values and beliefs.
