Polarnetter #1
Tora
– Bli med! Sigmund klasket en grov, ikke helt ren neve ned på Antons skulder. – Foca seiler ikke før om tre dager. Du har god tid til å pakke.
– Ne-ei …
– Ikke vær pysete! Sigmund så på Tora, som satte et par harde, advarende øyne i ham. I et par sekunder holdt de hverandres blikk i en slags stum duell, så glimtet det provoserende til i Sigmunds grå øyne. – Jeg ser at du har fått glatt gullring på fingeren, men du har vel ikke giftet deg ennå, Anton! Du må ikke la hu’ der bestemme. Ikke la sjansen gå fra deg. Du vet, du kan sikkert bygge nytt hus og gi både kjerring og unger en god start om du blir med til Svalbard og legger deg opp penger. Det er en enestående mulighet.
Polarnetter handler om sterke kvinneskjebner, drømmer som knuses – og drømmer som går i oppfyllelse.

Fant den på en DNT-hytte. Syns det var knall underholdning!!! Går veldig fort i svingene og det kan jeg sette pris på

This book (at least most of it) is set in Tromsø, Norway. It begins with 12 year old Tora who looses her mother during another childbirth. Her father eventually remarries, and as Tora gets older she gets to work in her stepmother's café, which is much better than raising her siblings.
Fast forward, Tora is now 17, and dating Anton, and on her 18th birthday, after he's been in the military, they get engaged. They are happy and in love, but when Anton hears about working in the coal mines in Svalbard for a year and earning lots of money so he can care for him, Tora and eventual kids, they argue, but Tora eventually calms her temper, and after a dramatic feud their love is stronger than ever, and she finally gives herself fully to him.
It's cold and hard up in the coal mines, and Anton misses Tora. He feels both guilty and jealous when she has been to the movies and a dance, but then again, she is angered with him doing the same, and he gets worried when she says her body's been feeling weird.
As suspected, Tora is pregnant - And still not married! The baby is due in february, but Anton isn't coming home until the summer. Her parents want her to go away while pregnant and then give the baby away, but when she sees the very last boat up to Svalbard leaving, she makes a hasty decision.
I think the book was fairly alright, it's old-fashioned, but with a girl who speaks her mind and stuff - I like that. And Ellinor Rafaelsen is a pretty good author!
