Chad Jordahl :mtdiablo: :oski:<p>I just finished &quot;The Snowman&quot; by Jo Nesbø, and I have a question: is the Finnøy island of the book a real place?</p><p>Nesbø describes &quot;the island of Finnøy in Fedje,&quot; saying &quot;Finnøy was a tiny island.&quot; Checking Google Maps, I see Fedje, a group of small islands NNW of Bergen, but I can&#39;t see a place there named Finnøy. There is also a place called Finnøy a long distance *south* of Bergen.</p><p>At one point a character gets on a small boat in Bergen and &quot;in 15 minutes&quot; is at Finnøy. Both places I found are too far from Bergen to reach in 15 minutes.</p><p>Maybe it&#39;s just an invention for the novel. But I&#39;m curious, for no practical reason aside from curiosity. Does anyone know??</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Norway" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Norway</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/TheSnowman" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TheSnowman</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/JoNesb%C3%B8" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JoNesbø</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/HarryHole" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HarryHole</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Bergen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bergen</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Fedje" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Fedje</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Finn%C3%B8y" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Finnøy</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bookstodon</span></a></p>
