Indian Horse
by Richard Wagamese
For my Around the World challenge (Canada).
Wow. I had no expectations when I picked this up on the "new fiction" shelf at the library, but I noticed the Canada Reads endorsement and the blurb sounded interesting, even though Catholic residential schools and ice hockey aren't necessarily topics of interest for me. But I am drawn to many Native America writers (Silko, Erdrich, Alexie, among others) and I was curious about Richard Wagamese. And what an amazing writer he is. I was just blown away by this powerful story and the beautiful, sparse style. I read most of it in one sitting, but I know the story will stay with me for a long time. I will definitely look for more of Wagamese's novels.
