Sisters in the Wind
by Angeline Boulley
I am an emotional wreck, can’t breathe through all these tears and snot. My chest hurts and I’m gutted.
The book was really freaking good. You should read it if you like a little mystery and feeeling all the feelings. And I do mean ALL the feelings. Sad, happy, angry, stressed af, heartbroken, & hopeful.
This was a very compelling mystery that had me binging the book in less 24 hours. Plenty of shocking reveals and twists!
I also really enjoyed how much care went into including Ojibwe traditions as our FMC learned more about her heritage. Not to mention the information about the Indian Child Welfare Act. I leave this book with more knowledge than I started, and in my humble opinion, one of the best ways to leave a book.
I am fairly familiar with the foster care system and how poorly it functions in general but especially when it comes to indigenous children. This book is a gut wrenching, raw, and unfortunately accurate portrayal on a system that fails far too often.
I am not built for traumatic or overly sad stories - so this will need to be my one allotment for a while, but for those readers who enjoy reading real, raw stories, and whose mental health can handle a little gut wrenching, this is an absolute must read!
All that said, despite the emotional rollercoaster this book puts you through the book ends on a hopeful and joyful note!
Audio Narration: 4/5 I loved the voice, inflection, and pacing of the narrator but the pauses at the end of each sentence were excessively long. Even at 2x speed the pauses felt excessively long, which made the sentence structure and prose feel overly punctuated, which for me, makes it sound dry.
