A review by jwinchell
Borders by Thomas King

3.0

This is the story of a Blackfoot boy and his mother who try to cross the border from Canada to the US to visit his sister who moved to Salt Lake City. The story of the crossing is a bit tedious, just because the mom had to be so persistent, so it’s interspersed with flashbacks to when his sister was home and wanted to move away. I wish there was an author’s note about indigenous people who don’t claim a nationality and the issue of border crossing.
