OverviewAn ancestry test suggesting she shared some DNA with the S�mi people, the indigenous inhabitants of the Arctic tundra, tapped into Laura Galloway's wanderlust; an affair with a S�mi reindeer herder ultimately led her to leave New York for the tiny town of Kautokeino, Norway. When her new boyfriend left her unexpectedly after six months, it would have been easy, and perhaps prudent, to return home. But she stayed for six years. D�lvi is the story of Laura's time in a reindeer-herding village in the Arctic, forging a solitary existence as she struggled to learn the language and make her way in a remote community for which there were no guidebooks or manuals for how to fit in. Her time in the North opened her to a new world. And it brought something else as well: reconciliation and peace with the traumatic events that had previously defined her--the sudden death of her mother when she was three, a difficult childhood and her lifelong search for connection and a sense of home. Both a heartrending memoir and a love letter to the singular landscape of the region, D�lvi explores with great warmth and humility what it means to truly belong.
