The Girl from the Archipelago

Coming in January 2026

"The breeze off the sea was balmy and we weren't cold at all with our backs against the bare rock. I put the soles of my feet together and groped for my siblings. As I lowered my fingertips to each face in turn, it twisted up. No one resisted; everyone was present and accounted for."

Kira's journey into adulthood and the lost takes her readers from the enchanting Archipelago to the busy streets of New York and the rugged coast of Ireland. 

Currently looking for distibutors and publishing partners outside Finland. Please contact directly for enquiries.  

Reviews

"Krogerus writes to bring serious themes to light with a boldly realistic interpretation and original metaphors."

"Tuire Krogerus's nautical-themed debut novel creates a surprisingly strong connection between a broken childhood and the terrifying present...Her debut book is a mature and well-thought-out novel."

"Krogerus' text immerses the reader deeply into all time levels... There is a whole world inside the book."

"The work is beautiful, horrible and sad. Krogerus draws you in and highlights femininity, motherhood, society, the world, men, emotions. I loved this immensely and immersed myself in every era and geographical location with every sense."
