Glass Beads by Dawn Dumont

5.0

This book wasn't at all what I expected - mostly because it was categorized as a collection of short stories, but was actually more of a novel that jumps throughout time. The story follows two Cree women and their partners over the course of two decades, and their struggles with racism, addiction, intimate partner violence, education, the foster care system, etc.

Despite the fact that this book was not at all what I expected, I really enjoyed it. The only thing I didn't like was that it ended when it did - I just wanted it to keep going.
