The End of Drum-Time

by Hanna Pylväinen

Set against the stark beauty of the nineteenth-century Arctic Circle, 'The End of Drum-Time' tells a powerful tale of cultural clash and forbidden romance. In 1851, a Lutheran minister named Mad Lasse endeavors to convert the indigenous Sámi reindeer herders to Christianity. Amidst this backdrop, Ivvár, a spirited young herder whose father has been swayed by the church, is thrust into leading their herd. Fate intertwines his path with Willa, the passionate daughter of Mad Lasse. As their love defies the boundaries of tradition and belief, their journey weaves through the challenges of the tundra, tied to the rhythm of reindeer migrations, and reveals the power of love to traverse cultural divides. Hanna Pylväinen captures the intensity of human emotions set against the awe-inspiring Northern lights, delivering a narrative as luminous and sweeping as the landscape it depicts.
