Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name by Vendela Vida

3.0

This is a solemn little read. Not much joyful happens to Clarissa, the protagonist. Her mother disappears when she is a teen. Her father dies a decade later, and in his papers, she discovers questions about her own identity, and embarks on a quest to find the answers. The search takes her to Finnish Lappland, where she will uncover the whole truth, including family she didn't know she had. An interesting book to read in the wake of my own Mom's death. Glad my family doesn't seem to have such skeletons. The book is low-key, and borders on depressing, but is redeemed by a satisfying, if a bit too pat, ending.
