An important story focused on colonialism in Canada that needs to be told more often. Ultimately the writing was just not for me. It was very simple and I was expecting something with more nuance and prose. The characters were flat and it was hard to understand their motivations with the changing POVs and switching from first and third person narration. I was confused by the target audience for this book because the content could be challenging but the writing was very juvenile. It would be a great novel study for high school students due to the developed themes and stylistic choices. It was fascinating to know that this fictional tale was rooted in the author’s ancestry.
