Maybe something got lost in translation, but I expected more connection through this book...to the people, to the characters, to their plight. It is Laestadius's first adult novel, and it felt like a young adult novel for much of it, to its detriment.

Fantastic author. The book is very sad in an incredably real way. I loved learning more about sami people. The book shows the nuanses in sami culture, both highlighting the beutiful aspects and criticing their conservative wiews about women.

Mitt val till vår bokcirkel. En bok som borde läsas av alla, speciellt om man som jag är ickesame och bor i sapmi. Sen Övik blev samisk förvaltningskommun 2019 har vi på biblioteket försökt utveckla verksamheten för att den ska leva upp till kommunens nya åtagande. Vi har kommit en bit på väg men har fortfarande mycket att jobba på. Själv har jag fått en helt annan insikt om hur vi faktiskt behandlat samer genom historien/nu. Och det faktum att det knappt pratas om i storsamhället. Det känns som att det börjat komma mer litteratur inom ämnet, tex Herrarna satte oss hit, Himlabrand och snart Mats Jonssons bok När vi var samer.

Stöld lyckas vara både folkbildande och spännande samtidigt som den synliggör ett systematiskt förtryck. Karaktärerna är skickligt skrivna och känns oerhört verkliga. En bok som verkligen behövs.
