This is the kind of thing you feel like you need to immediately reread so as to not let go of it.
“dudley george is the first aboriginal person to be killed in a land rights dispute in canada since the 19th century.
i guess that’s right, if you don’t count suicide, cop killings, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, violent deaths, deaths from poverty, deaths from coping and deaths from being a woman.”

"the mother in me has to believe that i can heal you by loving you, because no one actually believes that, except for mothers.
fuck. why was the universe trying to destroy you? why didn't you get some say? sometimes people's lives are just shit through no fault of their own and not even fucking oprah's cash and her tool box of privileged platitudes can fix it. sometimes people just drown in their own heads for no particular reason. sometimes people are just sad. you know, if it had worked, i would still have respected you. i would have respected your decision, and i would have missed you and loved you the same as i do now."

Beautiful, reflective, thought provoking words that I can't recommend highly enough.

This short story collection was the first ever audiobook for me! Tantoo Cardinal being the narrator was fate, her smooth enunciation and tone made the whole book wonderful.
I found the stories somewhat confusing since it was my first time, but I can't wait to get a copy of the physical book for myself!
I read this for my friend Dani's group read, and I enjoyed it so much.

4.25. Excellent.
I really enjoyed this collection and the themes / method of storytelling. Loved the insertion of Anishinaabemowin into the book. I recommend listening to the audiobook.
