PRLog -- :he historical fiction novel "The Final Days of Doggerland" (also a screenplay on Filmfreeway.com)
won the Historical Fiction Bronze Medal in November 2022 at the Global Book Awards. The novel is largely based on historical facts, such as the disappearance of Doggerland, the first use of spices in food, and the appearance of blue-eyed people in Northern Europe. It is historical fiction, however, so the author did take some poetic liberties.
A land called "Doggerland"
did really exist until about 8,000 years ago and connected the British Isles to mainland Europe. However, there are different theories when exactly and how fast it disappeared. The book does not endorse any particular theory about Doggerland's disappearance.
In the novel "The Final Days of Doggerland,"
a group of weary nomads arrive in Northwestern Europe in the remnants of Doggerland and attempt to build a home. But the women and children of the group become captives of the more skilled Bollebarg tribe, led by a ruthless chief, Viggo. One of the captives, Oane, relies on her talent for crafting poisons to survive, while pondering how to reach firm land in the west. But her planned escape may come with a price.
The book is available on Amazon.
