Five gays in the Nuuk community, somewhere in Greenland. One with their own struggle; on discovering they are queer, and behaving as the people around try to invalidate them before the "today" society.
Taught us on the beauty of love, loving and being loved. This book is alive with all the curses. One emotion for all the people in this novel: miserable.
2.7/5⭐
Psssst! I really love the book cover that I actually made my purchase without even reading the synopsis at the back. Wise decision though. (I do judge a book by its cover)

Tror att Blomsterdalen är mer för mig, men nu blev det den här till att börja med.

Explores a multitude of interwoven queer identities in a small Greenlandic community. Each voice is uniquely beautiful and faces its own pain and joy. Short, fast read, worth an afternoon.

I would have appreciated this book more in my twenties. But it does not change that it is a smart meditation on youth, geography, sexuality and self-discovery.
