This is my first Richard Wagamese novel, and the words he chose to fill this book showcase a remarkable craftsmanship evident on every page. It's an emotional and weighty, yet beautiful novel. Solid four stars.

I rarely enjoy the books I have to read for school. I also rarely enjoy Canadian fiction. This book is so masterfully constructed I enjoyed it almost in spite of myself. It was so powerful in what it didn’t say right out
