Rose on poissa

Ettu, a Finn, wakes on a reservation in Minnesota and finds that his beloved Rose is gone. At the police station it turns out that thirty-five years are missing from his life; he remembers only the time when Rose was at his side. Why do the region’s Native girls disappear, and why are the cases never solved? Their daughter Lempi is half Ojibwe and half Finnish, too white on the reservation and too Native outside it. She pieces her life together from the memory of being close to her wild-spirited mother, from fragments of her own experience and from her distant roots in Finland, a nostalgic country she has glimpsed only in her grandparents.
