The Break by Katherena Vermette

3.0

Incredibly moving story and narrative perspectives. I was very touched by the characters experiences and strength they drew from each other. The novel highlights many themes around belonging, violence against women (indigenous women and girls), racism, substance abuse, family, and intergenerational trauma.

I did find the writing style hard to follow with the different time or memory jumps. Sometimes the switch was made with larger text indicating the change. I would also love a character chart to map all of the relationships.
