Description
In the majestic verse novel Ædnan An Epic, Linnea Axelsson chronicles the fates of two Indigenous Sami families over a century of colonial displacement and resistance. Against the backdrop of northernmost Scandinavia in the 1910s, Ristin and Ber-Jona struggle to care for their troubled young sons as they migrate their reindeer herd. As the years pass, their story intertwines with that of Lise, who grapples with the consequences of being forced to adapt to Swedish society. Her daughter Sandra seeks to reclaim her heritage, becoming an activist in a quest for reparations from the Swedish state. Through sparse, glittering verse, Axelsson weaves a profound and moving epic of Sami life, tracing the voices of one generation succeeding another as they navigate the complexities of tradition and loss. Written in a flowing style that echoes the rhythms of the land, Ædnan An Epic is a powerful exploration of identity, culture, and resilience.
