An incredible, well written and important book that manages to discuss both current and generational trauma that Sámi people face. The book feels like arctic winter and grief, the writing creates a vivid image of the environment, and very strongly conveys the mood.

The book is very informative on the current reality Sámi people face, and as a nordic person i'm glad i read it.

I started listening to the audiobook which was a lovely way to get the sound of the Sámi words in my head, but then I wanted to read faster so I switched to the hard copy. This is a fascinating setting and community I knew next to nothing about. There’s so much pain and joy for the characters trying to navigate their endangered way of life. It’s also an interesting and infuriating look at a very different flavor of racism and police complicity than I’m used to thinking about.

Heftige omschrijvingen, maar wauw! Voor iemand die de cultuur niet kent is het ontzettend leerzaam en je voelt enorm mee met de personages en dieren in het boek. Elke keer was ik weer in 'awe' over hoe mensen toch prachtig in verbinding kunnen staan met de aarde, haar flora en fauna en al zo snel zien dat het klimaat naar de klote gaat. Ontzettend mooi!
