The secret of snow : a novel / Tina Harnesk ; translated from the Swedish by Alice Menzies.
"Meet Máriddja: eccentric, 85-years-old, with not much time left to live. When she is diagnosed with cancer, there is only one thing she can think of - how to keep the diagnosis from her husband Biera, and how to find someone who can take care of him once she's gone. She embarks on a series of outrageous actions that eventually require the police, the fire department, and the military to handle. Meet Kaj: a new transplant to the village, recently engaged to Mimmi, and now mourning the death of his mother Laura. One day, when Kaj unexpectedly finds a box of Sami handicrafts belonging to his mother, he unlocks something within himself he never quite anticipated, something that will change his life for years to come. A novel of humor and heartbreak, lyricism and tenderness, Tina Harnesk's debut introduces a cast of loveable, quirky characters grappling with the consequences of loving and losing someone, and the consequences of forgetting and remembering history"-- Provided by publisher.
