I really loved this one. Grief books are already my thing and this one had so many amazing lines that took my breath away.
It’s about family and sisters and aunties and community and dreams and so much grief - the unspoken, lonely, engulfing kind.
Plus it’s pretty creepy [maybe not horror, but definitely cringy]. It crescendos with a final reckoning, which highlights the importance of familial connection and speaking your truth.
P.S. High Prairie minutes are now part of my vernacular. I will accept no other.
