Kiss of the Fur Queen by Tomson Highway

4.0

This is such an essential read for all Canadians. It's a hard one though. It covers the long-lasting trauma of indigenous peoples by residential schools. Indigenous writers have a beautiful, circular way of writing that can at times seem haphazard for non-indigenous peoples. I would love to see this as a required reading for high-school students across the country. When this book got though, I just kept going because that is part of the experience. We were not there, we will never know and the only way to have a glimmer of understanding is by reading and educating ourselves.
