Thanks to this book, I didn't leave my house all day one Saturday.
"Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name" is simply an incredibly well-told, well-conceived story.
The story Ms. Vida has created - of a 29-year-old woman's unexpected journey to north Finland and into her own past - is so quirky and original in its setting and twists, yet completely believable in its main character's superhuman attempt to connect with her matronage and sense of humanity.
This is an artful, powerfully imagined book.
