About This Item
Original Hardcover. Publisher: Faber & Faber | 2024 | Original Hardcover | 432 sidor ; 22 cm | This book is brand new. | Language: Engelska --- Information regarding the book: In Northern Sami, the word?AEdnan?means the land, the ground and the earth. In this majestic verse novel, Linnea Axelsson chronicles the fates of two Indigenous Sami families over a hundred years as they are expelled from their ancestral home, giving powerful voice to a history under threat of erasure. In the 1910s, Ristin and Ber-Jona try to care for their infant twins while migrating their reindeer herd to their summer pasture. As a border is imposed between northernmost Sweden and Norway, the family faces tragedy when it is forced to migrate south. In the 1970s, Lise - part of a new generation of Sami grappling with questions of identity and inheritance - reflects on her traumatic childhood, when she was placed in a "nomad school" to be stripped of her ancestors' language. Moving into the 2010s, Lise's daughter Sandra seeks to reclaim her heritage, becoming an activist fighting for reparations in a highly publicized land rights trial. With grand scope and stunning, crystalline language,?AEdnan?weaves together a chorus of voices from across a century into a profound and moving epic of Sami life. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.
