Indian Horse
by Richard Wagamese
4.5 stars
I loved this novel featuring Saul Indian Horse. He was taken from his family and put in "residential school" St. Jerome's. It was a horrible life there, but he found a kind Father who ignited his interest in hockey. From using horse turds as pucks, Saul finds purpose in his life. Then Fred Kelly invites him to live with his family, and he lives out his hockey dream. Will he be able to overcome his tragic past through hockey, or will he not be able to escape the clutches of his trauma?
Saul is such a great character that you root for! I liked the timelessness of this novel and how the reader is exposed to the true horrors of life in a residential school that Indigenous people experienced.
