Bone Black by Carol Rose GoldenEagle
4.0

Wow y’all. This book was so unlike what I expected, or anything I've read before. In this genre blending novel, GoldenEagle forefronts the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People #MMIWG2S through the story of Wren, a Cree woman whose twin sister Raven disappears. Raven is immediately dismissed by the police as not worth investigating, a story as heartbreaking as it is common. Wren reacts in a startling and powerful manner to her sister’s disappearance, and without spoiling the narrative I will just say that I’m going to be thinking about this novel, and the way GoldenEagle juxtaposes darkness and light for a long time.
