This is a quiet book, and a short book, but that honestly doesn't make it any less impactful. Set in northern Sweden, it follows Ánte who is a reindeer herder and trying to find his place in the world. It's about his acceptance of the fact that he's gay, and trying to figure out how to fit into his community that isn't super accepting. The way that the emotions were captured in this book was beautiful, and really what stands out the most from the overall writing.
If you're a fan of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe or Ready When You Are, this is definitely a book that you'll want to have on your TBR. It is a translated work, so parts of it felt a little bit choppy to me, but overall, it was a good story.
