Inlands

Inlands is the story of a young woman moving from Stockholm to a small community on the edge of the Arctic Circle, to her boyfriend’s home town. But when their relationship ends shortly after her arrival, she decides not to return to the city. It’s a brilliantly wrought piece of fiction, an account of our protagonists’s struggles to adjust to new customs, with a quiet poetry to the descriptions of her experience in the alternating endless sunlight and bitter cold of the Swedish inlands.
