jenmoody23 's review for:

Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese
5.0

A heartbreaking but important story centered around the Canadian Indian residential school system and the 60’s Scoop. I knew absolutely nothing about this part of Canada’s history and I’m glad I was able to learn about it, even though it is a tough topic.

The story is heavy on the hockey, which didn’t surprise me, but it is not a hockey story. This is a story of resilience and forgiveness and the evils that man can commit to further their own agenda.

I thought the writing in this book was brilliant as it changed in style as our main character, Saul, changed.

I read this with my book club and it was a great choice. There was so much to learn about and talk about. This is definitely a book that will stay with me a long time.
