Crow Winter by Karen McBride
4.0

SOOO glad I finally picked this one up. It was really, really good guys! For fans of Eden Robinson or Cherie Dimaline. This debut novel by Algonquin Anishnaabe writer Karen McBride was thoroughly entertaining. Hazel has come home to the Spirit Bear Point First Nation to help her mother organize her father's funeral arrangements. While home she is also contacted by Nanabush, a supernatural crow/Trickster character trying to win the favor of the gods and become human again. To do so he must help Hazel with her grief, which also involves getting to the bottom of a land rights mystery. A fantastic blend of fantasy and mystery steeped in real Canadian history and so many funny Disney Pocahontas references!! Highly recommended and great on audio!
