Fire from the Sky Audiobook

From twenty-three-year-old Sámi novelist and reindeer owner Moa Backe Åstot comes a queer coming-of-age story about heritage, family ties, and age-old commitments to the past.

Ánte’s life has been steeped in Sámi tradition. It is indisputable to him that he, an only child, will keep working with the reindeer. But there is something else too, something tugging at him. His feelings for his best friend Erik have changed, grown into something bigger.

Ánte is so aware of Erik and his body in relation to his own; everything he does matters so much. What would people say if they knew? And how does Erik feel?

Fire from the Sky will warm your heart as Ánte experiences the magical, soul-combusting feeling of first love.
