I read this before, it is just as good as I remembered. I love everything that I've read by Richard Wagamese, and this is no exception. His storytelling is absolutely amazing, it's so engaging and relatable. For people (like me) who are used to stories told in the western style, it might take a bit of getting used to, but don't let that deter you at all. Just let it wash over you, instead of trying to figure out where it's going. 

I really love the way Garnet found his way through, and how he and his family were really well described and fleshed out as people, more than characters. I wish I could have heard these stories told around a fire, but listening to the audiobook is not bad at all! Both narrators did an excellent job.
