When Hillevi, a young, inexperienced midwife, moves from the
university town of Uppsala to the wilderness of Svartvattnet
(Blackwater) to be with her unofficial fiance, she is ill prepared
for what awaits her. In this frigid, austere, and isolated
territory, she encounters the overwhelming and unpredictable forces
of nature and demoralizing poverty and ignorance while also gaining
access to the unfamiliar world of nomadic Sami reindeer herders. A
single traumatic event, never fully confronted, has devastating and
far-reaching repercussions, but Hillevi also finds unexpected
warmth and love. Incorporating elements of the "jojk" oral
tradition of Sami culture, "God's Mercy" is a thoroughly engrossing
story about the capriciousness of memory, the resilience of the
human psyche, and the endless wonder of the wild.
