Will I See? by David A. Robertson
4.0
What happens to the spirits that are killed violently? Indigenous women in Canada are being killed, or vanishing at an alarming rate. I feel that the author is trying to address this issue, but in a way that shows that spirits live on.
This is a dark, yet up lifting tale of one such young Cree woman who finds things left by those who have vanished, and tries to make sense of it.
It is a quick read, almost the length of a short story, and is probably hovering between a three and a half and a four star.
It is a sad state of affairs that First Nation women are being "taken" at such an alarming rate. This graphic novel/comic book, of course, is not the solution, but more a calling out of the situation.
The publisher specializes in books about First Nation peoples, and I would recommend this, as well as their other books to those who want to know more, and even to those who don't know that they should know more.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
