First Wives Club: Coast Salish Style by Lee Maracle
4.0
Popsugar 2022 reading challenge #3
Wonderfully written. A collection of short stories depicting Coast Salish lifestyle for women -- covering a wide array of topics. I am a big fan of Lee Maracle's work and think this is a great addition to my pile of Maracle books. Poignant, evocative, and yes -- sometimes angry (as one reviewer suggested) because how can indigenous peoples not express themselves with anger sometimes? How can women not express themselves in anger sometimes? Very *true* depictions of women. I very much enjoyed this series of short stories and hope others will give them a read as well.
