Unforgetable Return to Norway

I’m thrilled to post an article I wrote for the Norwegian American newspaper about a trip Wendy and I took from London to Norway. We visited many places that were described in A Coat Dyed Black as well as others related to Norway and World War II. Our trip was meaningful and at times highly emotional trip. It was also a long-time coming. The last time I visited Norway was in 1985 for a six-week stay to interview resistance fighters and conduct research for the book. At the time, it marked my final of several research trips there. Wendy was last in Norway in 1992 visiting family members.
Above is a photo of the lighthouse on Bressay Island in the Shetland chain of islands. There, the main character, Bjørn, saw this lighthouse and stopped here at the end of a harrowing 200-mile journey across the North Sea. I truly hope you enjoy reading the article. Here is the link:
