Fins Lapland, 1944. We volgen een jonge Finse soldaat die wordt opgeroepen als tolk in een nazi-gevangenenkamp te werken. Wreedheid en dood zijn hoofdrolspeler. Geheimen en misdaden bedolven onder sneeuw, wanneer de vrede aanbreekt.
Een paar jaar later volgt journaliste Inkeri een spoor naar haar man, die tijdens de oorlog is verdwenen...

Intrigerend, niet waar? Ik moet eerlijk bekennen dat ik weinig tot niks wist van de rol van Finland tijdens de tweede wereldoorlog. In dit boek heb ik daar kennis mee kunnen maken. Van mij had dit boek dan ook nog wel 2 of 3 keer zo dik mogen zijn. Ik had mij graag nog veel meer laten informeren over de Sami cultuur en Finse geschiedenis.
