Award-winning WWII novel The Jøssing Affair by J.L. Oakley, out now as an audiobook
Hello again, dear audiobooks friends! Today I’m really excited to let you all know that the multiple award-winning World War II novel The Jøssing Affair written by J.L. Oakley is now available on Audible, Amazon, and other outlets. The audio production is narrated by Chris Humphreys and has an impressive length of almost 23 hours.
Let’s find out a few details about the story and, of course, below we will acquaint ourselves with the author and the narrator:
British-trained Norwegian intelligence agent, Tore Haugland, is a jøssing – a patriot – sent to a fishing village on Norway’s west coast to set up a line to receive weapons and agents from England via the “Shetland Bus”. Posing as a deaf fisherman, his mission is complicated when he falls in love with Anna Fromme, a German widow. Accused of betraying her husband, she has a young daughter and secrets of her own.
Although the Allies have liberated France, the most zealous Nazis hang on in Norway, sending out agents to disembowel resistance groups. If Haugland fails, it could cost him his life and the lives of the fishermen who have joined him. When Haugland is betrayed and left for dead, he will have to find the one who betrayed him and destroyed his network. He will also have to prove that the one he loves was not the informer. In wartime, love and trust are not always compatible.
Award-winning author J.L. Oakley writes historical fiction that spans the mid-19th century to WW II with characters standing up for something in their own time and place. Her writing has been recognized with many awards including the Chanticleer Grand Prize for Tree Soldier and Goethe Grand Prize for The Jøssing Affair, the 2018 Will Rogers Silver Medallion, two WILLA Silver Awards, and the 2020 Military Writers Society of America Silver. Her journey into WWII in Norway continues. When not writing, she demonstrates 19th century folkways, gardens and weaves. Read more at jloakleyauthor.com
