bibi003's review
5.0
I first heard about this book almost a year ago on my drive home from work, listening to Shelagh Roger's interview Michelle Good on her program, The Next Chapter, on CBC radio. I loved Good's novel, "Five Little Indians", and I knew that this would be a powerful and thought-provoking collection of essays.
I found the audiobook available (without a waitlist!) at my local library and I was not disappointed. The narrator was excellent. The style was accessible and easy to follow, and the ideas were bold, clear, and succinct. The more I learn about Indigenous history and experiences in this country, the more I am disappointed in the lack of (truthful!) education we receive. I learned so much from this book and highly recommend it to every settler living in Canada. I'll add my voice to the chorus in saying it should be required reading for all of us.
