Stolen Lauded by Kirkus Reviews

Ann-Helén Laestadius’s novel Stolen has been lauded in a pre-pub review from US literary magazine Kirkus Reviews:

“A revelatory account of not-well-known assaults on the rights of an Indigenous group… The legacies of long-held social prejudices against the Indigenous group—racism, economic insecurity, and the traumas borne by the community’s elders who had been removed from the group in childhood and sent to “nomad schools”—continue to haunt Sámi life with devastating effects… Looming over the tale… is the specter of climate change and its impacts on the traditional Sámi herding methods.”

Stolen will be published in the US by Scribner on January 31st.
