About This Book

After a violent storm strands a three-masted merchant ship off the northern coast, a handful of survivors — including a wounded captain, his young wife and child, a veteran corporal, his son, and a sea‑Sami called Iisko — face rescue and scarce resources. The narrative follows the immediate salvage and the secretive protection of the child, then shifts through rural coastal life, travels to Bergen and homecoming, and episodes in Lapinmutka. Through detailed scenes of everyday hardship, social obligation, and legal risk, the story examines how poverty, custom, and personal conscience shape choices between compassion and self‑interest in isolated northern communities.
