Shortlisted for the 2017 International Man Booker Prize Shortlisted for the 2018 International Dublin Literary Award 'Even by his high standards, his magnificent new novel The Unseen is Jacobsen's finest to date, as blunt as it is subtle and is easily among the best books I have ever read.'Eileen Battersby, Irish TimesBorn on the Norwegian island that bears her name, Ingrid Barrys world is circumscribed by stormscoured rocks and the moods of the sea by which her family lives and dies. But her father dreams of building a quay that will end their isolation, and her mother longs for the island of her youth, and the country faces its own sea change: the advent of a modern world, and all its unpredictability and violence. Brilliantly translated into English by Don Bartlett and Don Shaw, The Unseen is the first book in the Barry Chronicles and a moving exploration of family, resilience, and fate.
