Fyrvokteren
Show quick summaryHide summary
What it's about: Torunn, a tax adviser from Oslo, volunteers as weekend host at a lighthouse off Lindesnes. The guests cancel because of a storm, the power goes, and in the old logbooks she finds the same short line after every storm for fifteen years. She repeats it, and someone on the mainland answers.
Torunn Berge hadde aldri vært på et fyr før. Hun var førtiseks år, jobbet som skatterådgiver i Oslo og hadde tilbrakt det siste halvåret foran to dataskjermer. Da en venninne fortalte at stiftelsen som leide ut Svarteskjær fyr utenfor Lindesnes, trengte en frivillig fyrvert for en helg i oktober, meldte hun seg på samme kveld. Jobben var enkel. Hun skulle ta imot gjestene, vise dem rundt og passe på at ingen falt ned den bratte trappa i fyrtårnet.
