A really important book to read if you live in the nordic countries. It tells a in-dept and honest story about issues you only briefly hear on the news. Really a change in perspective and enlightes your knowledge the sami people and what they have to endure when holding on to their rights.

Den här boken är verkligen en fantastiskt  verklig historia om hur det är att vara same och renskötare idag. Ett stort tack till Ann-Helén Laestadius för att du skrivit den här boken och jag ångrar så att jag inte läst den tidigare. Den är så otroligt hjärtskärande och gripande. Jag önskar alla fick en chans att läsa den här boken någon gång i livet, den berättar en sån viktig historia. Den är en gnutta långdragen och det tog lång tid att läsa den, i vissa delar hände det inte jätte mycket men mot slutet tog den fart igen och de sista 100 sidorna kunde jag inte lägga ifrån mig boken. Ett mästerverk.
