Beautiful and heartbreaking. I spent the entire second half of the book tensely waiting for the hammer to fall.

Loved it! Wonderful to read a book by a native author about a native story, and also something set in Canada!

Didn’t love the writing style and took a long time for me to feel a connection with the characters. even Jeanne who is one of the main characters I feel like we barely see her inner thoughts throughout the book. interesting story though. and I did cry so not a total bust
