The Secret of Snow

Meet M riddja: eccentric, eighty-five years old, and facing a cancer diagnosis. She's determined to keep the truth about her illness from her husband Biera, while also finding someone who can take care of him once she's gone.

Meet Kaj: a new transplant to the village, recently engaged to Mimmi, and mourning the death of his mother. One day, when Kaj unexpectedly finds a box of S mi--the indigenous people of Scandinavia--handicrafts belonging to his mother, he unlocks something he never anticipated, something that will change his life for years to come.

A "brilliant debut" (Aftonbladet S ndag, Sweden) full of humor and heartbreak, The Secrets of Snow movingly grapples with grief, love, and the power of history.
