A Perfect Likeness: Two Novellas by Richard Wagamese
4.0
Wagamese had the most incredible gift of putting together nature, and magic within his stories. While these weren't my favourite from him, both of these short stories impressed me with their depth. Especially Him Standing.
The first novella: Him Standing is about a talented young woodcarver named Lucas Smoke. When he is approached with a difficult, and high-paying job, he comes to find out that it definitely has strings attached.
The second novella: The Next Sure Thing, introduces us to Cree Thunderboy, who is excellent at two things: playing the Blues on his guitar, and picking winning horses at the races. When at the races, he meets a man who promises him his chance at making it big in the Blues world. All he has to do is keep picking those winners.
These were both great stories that I read as part of Indigathon. Always excited to read more Richard Wagamese!
