Split Tooth by Tanya Tagaq
5.0

Simply incredible.

It's a part memoir, mixed with folklore, mixed with a coming-of-age story, and bound together by mythology, 1970s culture, religion, birth, violence, snow and ice...

The writing style is what really elevates it. Prose, poetry and illustrations are all woven together to tell the narrative, and create something completely unique.

I can't recommend it enough.
