Lovely raw style of writing but my own personal connections to some themes made this hard to read. Couldn’t quite put a rating on it

Fuck. Wow. So incredibly raw. Ugliness of life shared beautifully.

I gave this book 5 stars, not for my own accord, but for the belief that she deserves it! It’s great writing! It’s great thinking! It’s great reading! I had no way to sympathize with her, nothing in her life I could relate to. But I feel better for having read this book! That’s all you can hope for, I guess.

Very poetic and beautiful writing, such heartbreaking stories and seems to be a theme with indigenous cultures.

Ow! Acknowledging a lineage of grief and gifts, Mailhot writes the cultivation and preservation of will, in of that raw wound. Utter remembrance of the strength and fragility, gifted and her own.
