Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name by Vendela Vida

1.0

This book made me very angry. Along with the story containing my least favorite trope of someone being utterly lied to and cheated for not knowing who their ”real” (birth) parent is, it’s a prime example of a white American person completely using several cultures as plot devices in their story. It’s inaccurate, racist and ableist, and the name of the book has been taken straight from an actual Saami poet Marry Ailoniedia Somby and if you now search this title, all you can find is this pathetic excuse for a book.
