Another great collection of stories by Christoffer Petersen
Christoffer Petersen is an excellent writer. This is an anthology of Greenland stories that develops the complex background the brave, capable, and taciturn Constable David Maratse. These are well plotted stories with vivid three dimensional characters. The vast background of Greenland and its culture are themselves key characters, resulting in stories that are uniquely Greenlandic. Qujanaq, Mr. Petersen!
Each story pulls you in a little more. Each one tells you a little bit more about Greenland and Greenlandic culture. They leave you wanting to know more. Not just to read the story and find out what happens next, but to learn more and understand more about the culture and the people.
These novellas are distinctly different as they are interesting. Each one discribes a different aspect of Greenlantic customs and beliefs. They bring some understanding to what life is like there and how rooted the people are to the weather, sea and land. Some of it applies to us all.
