About the Book:    

Louise Erdrich meets Jo Nesbø in this spellbinding Swedish novel that  follows a young indigenous woman as she struggles to defend her  family’s reindeer herd and culture amidst xenophobia, climate change,  and a devious hunter whose targeted kills are considered mere theft in  the eyes of the law.

It is winter, north of the Arctic Circle. A few hours of pale light  are all the sun has to offer before the landscape is once more wrapped  in darkness. This the land of the Sámi, Scandinavia’s indigenous people.  One day when she goes skiing along, nine-year-old Elsa—daughter of  reindeer herders—witnesses a man brutally killing her reindeer calf,  Nástegallu.
