5.0

Kate Beaton’s sequential storytelling is reflective and moving. I learned a lot about the Canadian oil sands and the people who work there in search of financial hope like herself. Nothing is ever black and white and I think Kate illustrates that reality beautifully. Everyone who works in the sands is changed, even Kate.

The great Canadian graphic novel, it is an exploration of what people will put up with when they need to take care of themselves, and how others will take advantage of those because of their lack of resources.

Cried, wasn’t what I thought it was gonna be about but it’s real and it’s heavy. Loved the art and was interested in learning about this work culture I would have in no other way looked into myself.

Honestly, a very upsetting recount of one woman’s experiences while working in the oil sands of Alberta. Having lived in Alberta myself, the sexism and objectification of women is prevalent everywhere. Even in town, where most of the women live with their young children, it’s there. It’s everywhere. Men get lonely and that is supposed to excuse disgusting and illegal behaviour.
