Honourable mention to “Belladonna at Belstone“ by Michael Jecks
On the death of his Swedish husband, Casper, in 2015 Nilas, a Sami, remembers their 33 year relationship navigating homophobia, queer bashing, and AIDS in Sweden till they reach the more accepting 21st century.
Despite the rather flat, pedestrian prose, this book kept my interest in what would happen next and left me tearful at the end, but in a good way. It's certainly not depressing despite the at times heavy and hard-hitting subject matter.
