Book Reviews of A Year in Lapland: Guest of the Reindeer Herders
Book Review: I want more of this, and by a woman.
Summary: 5 Stars
The author really took me there with him in his experiences. This is an older book, and I wish there were something more current like it. I know that things have changed since it was written. Also, being a woman, I would wish for something similar from a woman's cultural perspective and reality.
Summary of A Year in Lapland: Guest of the Reindeer Herders
As a young man Hugh Beach went to live with the Saami reindeer hunters of Swedish Lapland. His lyrically written and very personal story of trying to fit into the herding way of life is a rare insider's account of the Saami. In a passionate and informed Afterword to this new edition of the book, he revisits his old friends and looks at how Sweden is attempting to balance the conflicting needs of reindeer herders and environmentalists in the 21st century.Scandinavia Books
