“A Grandmother Begins the Story” is a tale about indigenous heritage, but written in a different format. There are close to 100 short chapters, all written in various voices. At least 5 generations of members of this family, some living, some dead, take turns sharing their fates.
I’ve listened to this book in audio format, and I must say that in the beginning this threw me off and I considered not even finishing it. It was a lot of jumping back and forth and a new narrator was introduced every five minutes. But once I got used to it I started seeing the beauty in this approach.
The author, Michelle Porter, is very skilled in giving a unique voice and personality to each of the different characters.
