How much of our identity is rooted in family relationships and history? In Danish author Siri Ranva Hjelm Jacobsen’s acclaimed debut novel Island (translated by Caroline Waight), a young Danish woman explores her Faroe Islands ancestry across three generations. Rooted in the author’s own history, this is a tale of exile, homecoming and what it means to belong. Get ready to unpack the living impact of our relationships and the experiences of generations who came before us.
