When I started this book, I thought that I would listen to it quickly. I did start that way, then I had to slow down and savor it. I had to slow down to experience the heartbreaking times, as well as the good. I had to contemplate and experience the story.
This book has gotten under my skin. All the things I learned when I was 18 in my first linguistics and anthropology classes came flooding back. All that I've learned about colonialism, missionaries, capitalism, and corporate greed came together here.
The book is about the Indigenous Peoples of Ecaudor fighting to save their land, their stories, their culture, and way of life. I think everyone should read this. If you like audiobooks, then try listening. Savor it. Take it to heart. Learn from it. Celebrate it.
