“Writing historical fiction is more than writing about history. It’s writing about human lives caught up in that history”.
Marion and Sassy are two completely different women, who are drawn to each other due to proximity but family history and secrets binds their connection even further. It’s through these strong women, where the reader is taken on a journey through Canada’s lesser known history and involvement in the Vietnam War. Its focus on truth, movement and change is powerful and impactful.
A great read that has me eager to read more of Graham’s work.
