Yep, it’s good. Worth the wait for it to release in the US.
Read the synopsis if you want to know what it’s about 😅. I was gripped from the beginning and it kept a tiny piece of my heart.
As I’ve read a couple other books by Sámi authors recently, the community and culture wasn’t entirely new [if it is to you, that’s okay, be prepared to google at times]. As with so many Indigenous peoples, their culture has been suppressed and subjected to colonization & xenophobia - this book is a small piece of reclaiming that heritage while also shining a light on the ways racism & climate destruction continue to threaten their community.
