This book, like many other Indigenous book, was fascinating and beautifully crafted. Filled with loss, loss, and more loss, the fear of survival and the fear for the generations to come was present as well in this one. But I believe Dimaline did a great job to outline the small feather of hope. The main character – French – was an amazing character; feeling, reflective, involved in the safety of others in his community/makeshift family. This is a story as much about loss and genocide as it is about family and love.
“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.”
“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
