Searching for Savanna: The Murder of One Native American Woman and the Violence Against the Many by Mona Gable
informative
sad
medium-paced
3.5
The topic is important and it's the main reason why I wanted to read this, but I don't feel like it was presented in the best way, something was missing.
What I like is that Savanna was the focus of the book, and I appreciate how the author tried to tie her case to MMIW, but the timeline was very jumpy, and the perpetrators trial (and lives) got too much coverage. I would've preferred to have seen a bigger focus on the Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women instead.
Parts of the book were very repetitive, I listened to the audio, and noticed some things repeating word-for-word in a different chapter.
But I still commend the author for attempting to bring more attention to this issue, I can say that I learned something about it that I didn't know before reading this book.
