LEAN AGAINST THE WIND

LENE SEG MOT VINDEN – LEAN AGAINST THE WIND

by Trude Teige

By the great Norwegian storyteller and bestselling author Trude Teige, inspired by her own family history.

A strong woman from the fjords who stands firm against all storms: A dramatic novel about a strong woman in the traditional society of Nordic fishermen and sailors.

On the rugged Norwegian west coast, the ship’s captain Kristiane has fought hard to build a good life for herself and her family. She hopes that her son Anders will carry on the family tradition and become a ship’s pilot. But Anders has his own talents and dreams; he wants to follow the call of music. When Kristiane retreats to her special spot on the beach to reflect, she makes a dramatic discovery—one that shakes not only her family but the entire fishing community.

Following The Ocean Sang, this is the second novel featuring the sailor Kristiane—but it can also be read as a standalone story.

From the author of the moving bestselling novels When Grandmother Danced in the Rain, When Grandpa Breathed with the Waves, and Until We Meet Again by the Sea.
