And Then She Fell by Alicia Elliott
4.5

This book made me feel so anxious pretty much throughout the entire thing. It was fantastic commentary on post partum motherhood, depression, the effects of racism and white academia. Watching Alice fall apart due to her mothers loss, the racism she experienced as an indigenous woman in Toronto and the disconnect she felt, especially after moving off the  Six Nations reservation was poignant and compelling and the added snark of Alice’s voice made it impossible to stop listening.
