The Ferryman

di Ashley Simmons (Autore)

Ashley Simmons, 2025

One boy. One boat. A nation's last hope. Denmark, 1943. The Nazi grip tightens, and whispers spread of a plan to arrest and deport the country's Jewish population. Fifteen-year-old Jakob Madsen wants only to finish the fishing trawler his father left behind. Instead, he's pulled into a resistance he never sought—and a choice that could cost him everything. As neighbors vanish and danger seeps into every alley and harbor, a quiet network rises: fishermen, farmers, teachers—ordinary people risking everything to ferry strangers across the Øresund Strait to neutral Sweden. Jakob becomes one of them. His boat, once meant for fish, now carries fear, hope, and lives. Each crossing draws him deeper into a world of coded signals, midnight escapes, and silence beneath sweeping searchlights. Trust is fragile. Betrayal is fatal. And the line between bravery and breaking blurs with every tide. Inspired by true events, The Ferryman is a gripping WWII novel of courage, sacrifice, and quiet defiance—perfect for fans of The Nightingale, All the Light We Cannot See, and The Book Thief. Set sail on history's bravest crossings—read The Ferryman today.
