FINALIST FOR THE 2023 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD

An epic love story in the vein of Cold Mountain and The Great Circle, about a young reindeer herder and a ministerā€™s daughter in the 19th century Arctic Circle
In 1851, at a remote village in the Scandinavian tundra, a Lutheran minister known as Mad Lasse tries in vain to convert the native SĆ”mi reindeer herders to his faith. But when one of the most respected herders has a dramatic awakening and dedicates his life to the church, his impetuous son, IvvĆ”r, is left to guard their diminishing herd alone. By chance, he meets Mad Lasseā€™s daughter Willa, and their blossoming infatuation grows into something that ultimately crosses bordersā€”of cultures, of beliefs, and of political dividesā€”as Willa follows the herders on their arduous annual migration north to the sea.

Gorgeously written and sweeping in scope, The End of Drum-Time immerses readers in a world lit by the northern lights, steeped in age-old rituals, and guided by passions that transcend place and time.
