Avis des lecteurs

“This authentic and inspiring novel is a precious gift for everyone, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous. It makes us reflect on what we carry from our ancestors, even—and especially—without knowing it. I read it in one sitting and was accompanied by it for a long time afterward, along with the thoughts it sparked. A must-read!”
