Saia Stueng
The Hamburger Princess
You Only Live Once

The novel challenges Sámi society to deal with topics that are difficult, but which we know are there, such as eating disorders, self-hate, same-sex relationships, trauma, sexual assault, and digital harassment. The book is an important voice in this day and age, not only demonstrating the specific challenges facing Sámi youth but also the universal challenges which young people meet when they demand a space for themselves in the world.
