The Palace of the Snow Queen
The Palace of the Snow Queen: Winter Travels in Lapland | Barbara Sjoholm
7 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
Frequent traveller to Scandinavia, Barbara Sjoholm set off one winter to explore a region that had long intrigued her: The Palace of the Snow Queen is the result of Sjoholm's travels in Lapland, starting with her visit to Kiruna, Sweden, to observe the construction of the Ice Hotel. Over the course of three winters in the North, she met ice artists and snow architects, reindeer herders, and Sami writers and activists. Throughout The Palace of the Snow Queen, Sjoholm provides a deeply moving look at the people of Kiruna and the Sami's struggle to maintain their grazing lands and migration routes in the face of tourism, while focusing on the various political and ideological changes occurring within this icy region. Ultimately, Sjoholm contemplates the tensions between contemporary tourism and traditional culture, and delivers a powerful travel narrative of this comparatively little-known region of Europe.

Being an adult, and a parent, on Valentine‘s Day means I have run away from my family to read in bed with this mug of wine before being called upon to come out of retirement to do bedtime. #selfcare #litsytines

mrsmarch @rubyslippersreads I recently taught my 6 year old how to remember the fates of his wives in a rhyme; I‘ve been waiting for a call from her teacher saying she‘s skipping around the schoolyard chanting “divorced, beheaded, died....” 5y

With the completion of the tagged book my #GoodreadsReadingChallenge is back on track & I feel good about finally getting back to reading this one after putting it aside for so long. It was a great read & I found it surprisingly difficult to put down once I got into it! (Surprising because I read mostly fiction so a memoir/travelogue is a bit outside my comfort zone). I may try another change of pace read next before getting back to my usual SFF.

Finally picked this one up again as a buffer book to ease my #bookhangover. So far, so good! #Sundayplans #socksunday

JazzFeathers Is this a retelling? The Snow Queen was one of my very favourite fairy tales when l was a kid. 6y
TK-421 @JazzFeathers Actually it's a memoir/travelogue about the author's winter travels in Lapland. I was worried it might be a bit dry but I'm really enjoying it! The Snow Queen story is a favourite of the author's and she frequently refers to it, especially when she spends time in Sweden during the construction of the Icehotel. 6y
