Welcome to Litsy!

This #readingslump is hitting me hard.

I didn't love this one, and the ending was a little vague for my tastes. But I did enjoy the Indigenous spirituality aspect of it. The story follows five generations of Metis women as they struggle with their heritage and generational trauma. There were so many POVs but the audiobook did make it easy to follow with a full cast of narrators. The writing itself was beautifully done

I'm always impressed when people can write multiple POVs and make all of them distinct! Seeing how all the storylines were going to connect and lead to changes was fascinating, too. Spare but lovely. #contemporaryfiction #indigenouslit

This gorgeous novel follows five generations of Métis women dealing with the deep wounds of intergenerational trauma from a great grandmother trying to sober up before she dies to a mother reconnecting to the daughter she gave up for adoption. I particularly loved the chapters from the POV of bison, the grasslands, and a pair of dogs.

The stories of five generations of Métis women intertwined with tales of bison, pets, and the land itself. They talk about dealing with generational trauma, substance abuse, and forgiving yourself in order to move on.

Not going to lie, it took a while for me to get into the story because of all the different POVs but by the end I was really enjoying it.
