A review by cher_n_books
Through Black Spruce by Joseph Boyden
3.0
3 stars - It was good.
While it is a worthy read, it was also a disappointment after first reading [b:The Orenda|18339647|The Orenda|Joseph Boyden|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1393218865s/18339647.jpg|24652514], as this one was not nearly as compelling or polished.
I really enjoyed the Native American/First Nations cultural references, but could have done without the whole perspective of Annie and the drama around her, her sister and their modeling world. It would have been a stronger novel, even if cut in half page wise, if it had strictly dealt with the Uncle and his inner circle.

Favorite Quote: Experience is the most difficult of teachers because it gives the exam first, and the lessons second.
First Sentence: When there was no Pepsi left for my rye whiskey, nieces, there was always ginger ale.
