Daughters of the Deer by Danielle Daniel
5.0
I want to write a more thorough review, however I will have to keep it short and sweet. For the time being, I have no words that would do the novel justice.
What a moving and informative read. While reading Daughters of the Deer, I felt extreme sorrow. It’s extremely saddening to read the present reality that many indigenous women still experience today. I gasped when reading Josephine’s experience and really absorbed Jeanne’s hopelessness.
On a lighter note, I enjoyed immersing myself through the novel on the indigenous culture. I laughed when Pierre made the mistake of turning his back on the prisoner and the result which happened afterwards.
An amazing read that I would recommend to anyone looking to dive into Indigenous literature.
