A beautifully intricate portrayal of painful realities which so many indigenous communities face. This murdery mystery explores the lived experience of a cast of Indigenous characters experiencing the violence brought by colonization. Definitely check the trigger warnings, but all the pain was countered with immense beauty. The pure radiant survivance showcased in this book brought me to tears many times. This book is an instant classic to me.
