Carry: A Memoir of Survival on Stolen Land by Toni Jensen

challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

3.0

Essay collections are always hard to rate for me. Some of the essays were brilliant, searing looks at the meaning of violence, but others had clearly been published elsewhere before and didn't fit in as well with the rest of the content. The parts about COVID felt kind of tacked on and strange.
