Stolen
A novel · Ann-Helén Laestadius · translated by Rachel Willson-Broyles
This English translation follows Elsa, a Sámi reindeer herder’s daughter, from a childhood act of violence into a struggle against hostility and official neglect. The northern bearing is intentionally not a scenic chapter. The novel directs attention toward land, language, law and the pressure placed on a living Indigenous culture. It should be read as a work of fiction rooted in a specific perspective, not as a complete account of Sámi experience.
