Sisters of the Lost Nation
by Nick Medina
Anna works as a cleaner at the newly-constructed casino hotel on the Tacoda reservation. When her younger sister becomes the latest young Native woman to disappear, Anna is desperate to find her and has to face the fears that have haunted her since childhood.
I LOVED THIS BOOK. LOVED. IT. Loved it so much that I've been stalling writing my review because I'm not going to do it justice and will just end up sounding like a maniac, but here goes nothing.
The title alone is killing me after reading the book and learning what it means. Then there's the whole creepy rolling head (AAAAAGH). And the real-life horror of Indigenous women and girls going missing and authorities doing nothing about it because of jurisdictional nonsense and - you know - centuries of racism. And then there's ANNA. I loved her so much. Seeing her discover her true self and embrace the power of it and her traditions - amazing. And the ending made me cry. And I would really like the fictional Tacoda reservation to get a visit from the fictional Virgil Wounded Horse from Winter Counts. I think he and Anna would make a good team and mess some shitheads up.
I don't even know. All I can say is that this book was amazing and you should read it. The end.
