2007 book 11

Vendela Vida's Let the Northen Lights Erase your Name
This novel is about a young woman named Clarissa whose father has just died; after his funeral, she discovers he wasn't really her father. She travels to Finland to attempt to track her birth father down and learn more about her vanished mother's previous life. I didn't have strong feelings about this one way or the other--at parts I couldn't tell if the protagonist was supposed to be having even more of a nervous breakdown than she already was, or if Vida just likes to use dramatic sentences. Either way, it's a quick read and I did actually like the ending. B+.
