The book takes a wide view, telling a story of a lifetime, a whole people and the era through which they lived, never really zooming into the daily lives of its characters. It moves quickly over time, but feels steady, serene, and somewhat removed.
As the colony expands and the ability of the Innu to move about their territory is diminished, the effect is even more powerful because of the pacing of the first three-quarters of the book. It tells a powerful story of colonialism and forced assimilation, and the consequences it had for the Innu tribe and, by proxy, indigenous tribes throughout Canada.

Wow. Tu sais ce qui s’en vient du tout début et ça te frappe quand-même dans les tripes. J’ai souri, j’ai appris, et j’ai pleuré. Je sais pas quoi dire d’autre.
Une œuvre incroyablement importante qui devrait être lue dans les écoles à la place d’Un homme et son péché ou de Les Plouffes.

A moving and personal story about the love and lives of a young French Canadian woman who falls in love with an Innu man, following him north where they build a life for themselves.
Told over the span of decades and written by her granddaughter, this fictionalized account based on the real life of Almanda Siméon was fantastic in this new English translation.
Great on audio, this is a heartfelt look at the changing landscape of the nation and the cost it had on Innu families (from loss of land to Residential schools). Highly recommended!
