Catching Teller Crow follows two young Aboriginal women, Beth Teller and Isabelle Catching. Beth died in a car crash several months previously, but her father can still see her. He's a policeman in the city and has been sent to a small town to investigate a fire at a children's home to rule out foul play. They meet Catching, a witness to the fire, who isn't telling them everything she knows. Beth's chapters are in prose, while Catching's are in verse, which I had to reread to make sure I followed it properly as I'm not used to reading in that style. It's a story about the harm colonialism has wrought on the Indigenous people of this country, and the systemic racism that's still perpetuated. It was beautifully written and moving.
