Winter refuses to release its grip on Ödesmark, the little village outside of Arvidsjaur. In Ödesmark, many of the houses have been abandoned to a slow decay, but in one of them lives Liv along with her elderly father Vidar and teenage son Simon. They are an odd family, and Liv can feel the stares of their neighbors and the customers at the petrol station where she works nights. Everyone seems to wonder why Liv stayed – what is keeping her in this near-forgotten corner of northern Sweden? People talk about Vidar’s fortune, how rich he is, and how the family would make an easy target…
Stina Jackson is finally back. Following the enormous success of her breakthrough debut, The Silver Road, she’s crafted The Last Snow: an as tightly plotted as it is moving story about people’s bonds – to places, and to each other. About how ferociously strong those bonds can be – and how difficult it can be to break them.
“With peerless skill, Stina Jackson guides us through a community raging in silence, perched on the edge of an abyss of bad memories. The Last Snow is a masterpiece that seethes with tears and blood, love and despair, comfort and rage, and all the darkness that makes the light shine even brighter.”
