Alors que la première moitié du roman est remplie d’émerveillement et de découvertes sur un nouveau mode de vie, la seconde est pleine de mélancolie, d’injustice et d’émotions. L’auteur amène de façon fluide des éléments révoltants, j’ai eu des frissons et des larmes! Je connaissais les faits, mais je n’avais pas conscience de l’émotion du peuple! Merci pour ce récit beau et nécessaire, un des meilleurs livres de mon année!

Très bien racontée et m'a donné le goût d'en apprendre davantage sur ce peuple.

I am so happy I found this book at the bookstore and then proceeded to borrowing the audio from my library. This is such a powerful story that needs more awareness and sharing. I enjoyed it as much as it broke my heart. A fictional telling of a true story, this book spans decades and take a broad look at the impact of colonization and residential schools on the Innu people. This is the first book I have read in this location and it was like something I had read before, but also completely different. Highly recommend.
