Product Description
On the day of her father's funeral, twenty-eight-year-old Clarissa IverÂton discovers that he wasn't her biological father after all. Her mother disappeared fourteen years earlier, and her fiancĂ© has just revealed a life-changing secret to her. Alone and adrift, Clarissa travels to mystical Lapland, where she believes she'll meet her real father. There, at a hotel made of ice, Clarissa is confronted with the truth about her mother's hisÂtory, and must make a decision about how—and where—to live the rest of her life.

• All Style, No Substance 03 February, 2008
I agree that the writing is lovely, the book certainly tells you a lot about Finland and the Sami. But I came away feeling that I didn't believe in the psychology of the story: I kept reading because I hoped we were going somewhere with Clarisa but in the end, there was nothing - except a very difficult to believe tacked on happy-ish ending. I felt as if I had watched the author move characters around like a child with dolls in a very pretty setting. I found I didn't believe in her characters, in their emotions, their responses.

• Poetic Journey 03 August, 2008
Life is never clear and choices don't make sense- unless you're in a book where the author lets you stumble into thoughts and feelings that end up making sense when you don't want them to. A heart-wrenching story of the avoidance of being a victim and acceptance of violence - it has left me trying to find another ending. Very thought provoking. I started the book and couldn't put it down until I finished it. I have to ditto -'liked it against my will' review. Highly recommend.

• Compelling... 06 July, 2008
I read this book in one day as I couldn't put it down. It is a stark yet compelling book and the setting is of the cold of a mother's heart and ice and snow of Lapland in contrast to the warmth of a grandmother and the colorful reds, blues of the native dress and houses of the Sami. It is a tale of a lost mom and lost daughter and the decisions one makes from a haunting past. Yet, the book is uplifting in a way in that we can have control of our lives despite major hurts of the past. Would be a good book for groups as it is sure to prompt some lively discussion.

• Let The Northern Lights Erase Your Name - Loved It 28 August, 2008
Very well written and intriguing. I have read many books and this is unlike anything I have read. It is emotional, but done as sort of a black comedy. I would definitely recommend this for those not wanting everything tied up in a neat bow at the end of a story.
