I'm thankful for the eARC copy of Stolen. While I was initially drawn to the novel on the basis of its setting, it continually kept my engagement because of its powerful voice. Before reading this piece, I didn't know much about the Sami people, though I knew much more about other native populations. The insights and parallels between this population and Indigenous Americans are striking. But while this novel is information, it is, at its heart, a thriller. The grim discovery that Elsa makes marks her in ways both tangible and intangible - and the way in which this memory recurs is a true representation of traumatic memory. This is one of those pieces that you simply cannot put down and while the dialogue could be difficult to follow at times, I was engrossed.
