Moon of the Crusted Snow
by Waubgeshig Rice
An isolated Anishnaabe community is left in the dark once an unknown apocalyptic event forces them to rely only on nature as winter is already encroaching.
This is a short book, so not much could happen, but not much does happen even in the few pages it does have. One thing I really liked was the interactions between Evan and his family, which were remarkably heartwarming for such an otherwise bleak book. The depiction of fear and quiet panic felt very realistic for the disaster the community is in. The outsiders coming to the community is a great metaphor for how colonialism has negatively impacted Native communities. However, the slow pace and low plot made it so this book would not stand out to me. I was expecting more of a conclusion and was left wanting.
Overall, this is a good quiet apocalyptic book, but it will have little staying power in my mind.
