The Education of Augie Merasty: A Residential School Memoir by Joseph Auguste Merasty

dark informative sad fast-paced

4.0

This is a short incomplete book, it is really two different stories.  One is the Autobiography of Augie. He was an indigenous Canadian sent to a Residential School.  His memoir details the abuse he suffered while there.  The other part of the book is written by David Carpenter. He tells of Augie's life after the school and his attempts to get him to finish his autobiography. He also provides historical information for the reader.  The subject matter is difficult to read and the autobiography portion can be graphic.  I learned a lot reading this book.  It is an important history that needs to be told.
