Land of Snow and Ashes by Petra Rautiainen

Land of Snow and Ashes by Petra Rautiainen

A hauntingly beautiful, gripping novel about Lapland's buried history of Nazi crimes against the Sami people.

'A strong, intense thriller plot.. depicts the controversial landscape of 1940s Lapland ambitiously and beautifully' - Helsingin Sanomat

'Beautiful... a chapter in history that has rarely been visible in fiction... Rautiainen succeeds in describing the history of Finland's colonization and also gives a voice to the Sami' - Loostas

'Stuns its readers with details of the events and conditions at the prison camps... A delicate and artfully composed story of painful, obscure and dangerous events in recent history; events which have been silenced up until now' - Lapin Kansa

PETRA RAUTIAINEN was born in 1988 in a small town in Eastern Finland. Petra has travelled around the world, studied in the UK and worked in Canada, New Zealand and Scotland. Since childhood, she has been inspired by the barren nature of the Arctic, and hiking is her greatest passion. She is currently working on her doctoral thesis on representations of the Sámi people in the Finnish media. Land of Snow and Ashes is her debut novel and is currently being translated into ten languages.
