A review by joymargot
Monkey Beach: A Novel by Eden Robinson

5.0

Wow! I’ve not read anything like before. It was a strange and fascinating combination of heavy and emotional but also a celebration of the everyday mundane.

I loved the non-linear storytelling and the way indigenous knowledge and tradition were woven seamlessly throughout.

I think this will stay with me for a long time!
