This is a must read. The language is so incredibly beautiful and powerful. Then, the story is heartbreaking, full of grief, and deeply moving. I don’t want to speak too much to the story because this book speaks for itself. It handles tough subject matters, and Wagamese does this so well. The language isn’t too crude or too detailed, but it’s enough for you to feel it. It’s enough to make you angry, sad, and hopeful. It’s moving and truly reminds you that these horrendous acts happened and that this was very much a reality that Native Americans faced. I seriously can’t get over the writing and how much I appreciate and care for this book. Be sure to check trigger warnings before reading, but I feel like this is an important read for all, even with the difficult topics that are covered.
