Another Women in Translation month pick, this one translated from the Swedish by Sámi author Ann-Helén Laestadius. I've not read anything by a Sámi author set in Sweden before, and this book was a fascinating insight into reindeer herding, as well as a devastating portrayal of xenophobia and racism in a country so often lauded as idyllic and open-minded.

The characters were so well done, from the despicable Robert to Elsa's family to the (useless) police officers involved in the crimes committed against Elsa's family and their reindeer. The depiction of depression and suicide among men was heartbreaking too. 

Really good, and I sincerely hope the second book is translated to English soon!
