The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline
dark
4.25
Wow, this was an incredible read. The language and prose itself is genuinely stunning, so so evocative, I am in love with the way Cherie Dimaline writes description. Inspired by the history of colonial trauma and residential schools in Canada, it does have a lot of very horrifying and chilling content, but it also has moments of hope, laughter with family and friends, beauty and dreams.
