SUMMARY:Stolen by Ann-Helén Laestadius
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss Scandinavian literature in translation as part of our Nordic Book Club\, now online! Each month we select a novel from some of the best Nordic literary voices. On June 6\, we’ll be discussing the novel Stolen by Ann-Helén Laestadius\, out now in translation by Rachel Willson-Broyles from Simon & Schuster. \nLouise 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. On a winter day north of the Arctic Circle\, nine-year-old Elsa—daughter of Sámi reindeer herders—sees a man brutally kill her beloved reindeer calf and threaten her into silence. When her father takes her to report the crime\, local police tell them that there is nothing they can do about these “stolen” animals. \nKillings like these are classified as theft in the reports that continue to pile up\, uninvestigated. But reindeer are not just the Sámi’s livelihood\, they also hold spiritual significance; attacking a reindeer is an attack on the culture itself. \nTen years later\, hatred and threats against the Sámi keep escalating\, and more reindeer are tortured and killed in Elsa’s community. Finally\, she’s had enough and decides to push back on the apathetic police force—but the hunter comes after her this time\, leading to a catastrophic final confrontation. \nBased on real events\, Ann-Helén Laestadius’s award-winning novel Stolen is part coming-of-age story\, part love song to a disappearing natural world\, and part electrifying countdown to a dramatic resolution—a searing depiction of a forgotten part of Sweden. \n“Nuanced . . . an affecting portrait of the Sámi’s disenfranchisement . . . [and] a family torn apart by cultural tensions” —Publishers Weekly \nAnn-Helén Laestadius is an author and journalist from Kiruna\, Sweden. She is Sámi and of Tornedalian descent\, two of Sweden’s national minorities. \nIn 2016\, Laestadius was awarded the prestigious August Prize for Best Young Adult and Children’s Novel for Ten Past One\, for which she was also awarded Norrland’s Literature Prize. Stolen is her first adult novel and was named Sweden’s Book of the Year.
