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.
