“…Reviews of the novel noted its focus on historical and present-day linguistic conditions in Tornedalen (Landqvist, 2012b: 6-9), especially the linguistic oppression of speakers of Meänkieli in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries by public authorities and institutions and their representatives (cf.
