"Era un B8, un binocolo militare sovietico. Mio nonno se ne era procurato uno per vie traverse, e lo usava per studiare i dettagli delle chiese in cosyruzione." da "Sole di mezzanotte" di #JoNesbo

(o di come elevare al livello successivo l'osservazione dei cantieri!)

I just finished "The Snowman" by Jo Nesbø, and I have a question: is the Finnøy island of the book a real place?

Nesbø describes "the island of Finnøy in Fedje," saying "Finnøy was a tiny island." Checking Google Maps, I see Fedje, a group of small islands NNW of Bergen, but I can't see a place there named Finnøy. There is also a place called Finnøy a long distance *south* of Bergen.

At one point a character gets on a small boat in Bergen and "in 15 minutes" is at Finnøy. Both places I found are too far from Bergen to reach in 15 minutes.

Maybe it's just an invention for the novel. But I'm curious, for no practical reason aside from curiosity. Does anyone know??
