2.5⭐️ While the book was written very well, I just didn‘t connect very well with the characters. Partly it had to do with the fact that I was unable to put a time period to the story. #bookclub #canadian #fiction #historicalfiction

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

Love this author! This was a good book. I feel it wasn‘t the best book that Carley Fortune had written. For me it was a bit slow and somewhat drawn out. But still a good read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
This was the perfect book to kick off summer reading! All of the island friendships and romances were spot on for this beachy setting🏝️

itsjustme40something Its been a long time since a book was so bad I was pissed, but it was so bad and messy, it was like 3 different genres and non were done well and the twist was beyond stupid. But having the character justify and make excuses for the guy who raped her....hard nah 2w

Waiting to meet a friend for dinner & coffee at a coffee shop that is new to me. Only 12 minutes from work, by the airport. A little further for him, but he doesn‘t mind. He was my mentor- I student taught with him. ❤️ Delicious looking croissants for tomorrow‘s breakfast are in the white boxes.🥐

TheBookHippie How lovely. ♥️ 3w

Early morning read & coffee.
It‘s a cold 45 degrees, pouring rain. Reading about a garden & love in midst of war makes me feel hope for sunshine.

My intro to Helen Humphrey. She was recommended by my cousin (more specifically Followed by the Lark, but this was the first book of hers I could get my hands on). I loved this so much! surprisingly so! It gave me an entirely new (more intriguing) direction for my own gardens 🌷🪻 and for such a short book I cried several times 😢
I‘ve since picked up more of her work. And bonus that she‘s a 🇨🇦 author from a town near by.

TheKidUpstairs Love this book. And Helen Humphreys in general. I've heard great things about Lark, but haven't read it yet. My favourites are this one and 3w
Bookish.SAM Thanks for the recommendation @TheKidUpstairs 🙂 I have a feeling I‘ll really enjoy making my way thru her work. I actually picked this one up for a friend who LOVES gardening, but i couldn‘t resist giving it a read. So happy I did! 3w

So I looked at the solutions to the clues on Reddit (generally someone has them there by the third ones) and was on the fence about Original Daughter. Of course I got it! 😂😂 Four from #botm plus three from #aardvark plus whatever I buy at Parnassus today. (I already have three staff picks I like.) 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I‘ve lost my mind in the best possible way!!!!

BarbaraBB That sounds fabulous. Lose yourself in that book buying, you deserve it 🧡 1mo
