About this product
Finalist for the 2023 National Book Award, this “sweeping Sámi epic” is set in the 1850s Scandinavian tundra. The story centers on a collision of worlds: a charismatic Lutheran minister, “Mad Lasse,” is determined to convert the indigenous Sámi reindeer herders. The tension peaks when his daughter, Willa, falls in love with Ivvár, a young Sámi herder. As she joins their arduous northern migration, the novel explores the fracture of families, the suppression of indigenous traditions (the titular “drum-time”), and the devastating impact of religious and political borders.
