This year's Book of the Year winner is back with a stylishly winding story, Mödramärg.
In Mödramärg, Tina Harnesk delves into another part of Sami history and the fate of her own Lule Sami family. We follow the fates of two women in two eras. The focus is on both motherhood and the exploitation of Sápmi. Told with Tina Harnesk's warm, unique joy of language that is recognizable from her acclaimed debut and Book of the Year winner Folk som sår i snö. The present-day mining threat in Mödramärg is fictional, but right now there are several similar processes going on around Sápmi where the Sami and nature conservation organizations are fighting to protect the land.
TINA HARNESK was born in 1984 and lives on a mountain outside Arvidsjaur with her husband and children. She grew up in Jokkmokk. Her debut Folk som sår i snö was named Book of the Year 2023 and the rights have been sold to 20 countries.
