Bear Daughter by Judith Berman

1.0

I really wanted to like this book, but in the end I found it simply exhausting; about half-way through I just wanted it to be over and done with. The main character went through so many harrowing and redundant journeys that I wound up skimming sections throughout the last three-quarters of the book. Although I love fables and magical realism, I was not touched by this story. There was much repetitive over-the-top violence and so few interpersonal connections, the story just did not resonate.
