Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name by Vendela Vida

4.0

Vendela Vida writes the most beautiful books- slow, dreamy, thoughtful, intense. Reading them is a little like stepping into a lovely fog, full of feelings and descriptions and women running away from their lives and making life-changing relationships. Her books are all similar, but to great effect. Though my favorite remains the lovers, let the northern lights erase your name combined a beautiful story with fascinating details of the native people of lappland. I didn't know anything about that, and I love beautiful, literary books that also teach you something (even if i'll never use my new knowledge of the sami people). Wonderful, wonderful book.
