Engaging characters involved in a homely and supernatural story. So Canadian it hurts.

This was a beautifully crafted book from start to finish and deserving of 4.5 stars. The characters are rich and the story is compelling. Maracle expertly weaves together multiple her-stories across generations and demonstrates the living scars of colonial struggle. Worth a read and re-read in order to fully glean the richness of Maracle's writing.
