A review by greatlibraryofalexandra
Carry, by Toni Jensen

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

This is probably one of the most intelligent, unique memoirs I've ever read. It was crafted with such nuance and elegance and somehow Jensen always effortlessly answered any question I had - any 'what about?' or 'what if'? ... She was sharp and reflective and her elucidation of her experiences juxtaposed with the larger context of being native, being a woman, and existing in America (and Trump's America) was crisp, insightful, and fascinating. That she did all this through the lens of gun ownership, gun violence, and a legacy of stolen land is just ... mind-bending; it's truly one of the most useful personal narratives I've ever read. 

It could be very challenging at times due to the literary nature of it, and often I was frustrated, but overall it just knocks it out of the park.
