Let The Northern Lights Erase Your Name


On the day of her father's funeral, twenty-eight-year-old Clarissa Iver­ton discovers that he wasn't her biological father after all. Her mother disappeared fourteen years earlier, and her fiancé 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 his­tory, and must make a decision about how—and where—to live the rest of her life.

What can I say about this book? First of all, I found it accidently at the library and was somehow drawn to it. The name of the book was very appealing to me. I didn´t realize it was partly about Finland and Lapland until I started reading it. Then also one of my most favorite city in the world, Memphis, was mentioned and handball which is very dear to my family. Plus, I have always loved the books about personal growth and finding yourself.

So shortly said, without spoiling the plot, it was a very powerful read. And I enjoyed it and couldn´t put it down.
