I found this book to be a slow burn - hard to get into a first and then sucked me right in with a solid finish. The story of a Sami family of reindeer herders and the injustices against them is difficult to read. We visited Norway and spoke with some Sami people at a reindeer activity and found that this is an ongoing problem even now. The story is told from the point of view of a young girl and continues into her adulthood as she carries the trauma inflicted as a youngster and tries to protect her family and heritage.

Elsa tiene nueve años y pertenece a una familia de pastores de renos. Un día de invierno, ve cómo un hombre mata salvajemente a Nástegallu, su cría, y la amenaza para que no diga nada. Cuando por fin toma fuerzas para explicarlo, la policía decide no tomar parte en el asunto.
El asesinato de renos, cada vez más frecuente en la población sami, va más allá de una pérdida material: atacar a estos animales supone atacar a toda su cultura. Elsa convertirá este crimen en su lucha personal y dedicará su vida a defender aquello que más ama: su comunidad, su familia, su identidad y sus renos.
Robo es una narración valiente sobre una parte de Suecia de la que no se acostumbra a hablar. Una novela sobre cómo la xenofobia, el suicidio, el alcoholismo y el cambio climático amenazan la cultura sami, y sobre las tensiones que nacen del choque de las ideas modernas contra culturas tradicionales con estructuras patriarcales muy arraigadas.

What an interesting book. We meet Elsa at age 9 when she inadvertently comes across a local man in the act of killing reindeer. There is a conflict between the indigenous populations of northern Scandinavia, whose culture and life revolves around the care of the herds and the Swedish population who resent the space the reindeer take and the special consideration they feel they must make to the Sami. The stress of this conflict is evident in school yard fights, discrimination and even suicide. Elsa also must contend with gender discrimination because women don't work with the reindeer in her culture, only the men. I learned so much from reading this book. Highly recommended.… (més)

At nine Elsa sees the man who has just killed her reindeer and he gestures that he will kill her if she tells. In a life that is difficult partly because she is Sami and and more so because she isn't quite Sami enough - her mother's people left the culture - is made grimmer by the relentless stalking of the community's reindeer by outsiders. The book moves well enough but is pretty much all in one tone and mood. There is some portrayal of community life but that is dampened by Elsa's somewhat self-imposed marginalization. This isn't a book to make Swedes proud of themselves, but portrays them as indifferent to Sami issues where not downright hostile.… (més)
