The story is written well and meets every layer it entered. Compelling characters, plot development with a tie to history set the story off as well.hannahri0's review against another edition

Having said that, all the action happens in the last few chapters. After the storm at the beginning - the very interesting premise! - it plods slowly through the life of a timid protagonist... Over half way through the book I felt like nothing had happened.
But given that it's based on actual events in Vardø ther 's only so much you can do to stay true to the story of a village devastated by a storm.
