4.5/5
This is a beautiful novel about horrible, terrible things.
It's about Indigenous women who've each experienced their own tragedy, but still help each other, and support each other, and lift each other up.
It's about the kind of systematic oppression that's rooted in Canadian society to forget about Indigenous people, and Indigenous women.
It's about fighting for what is right, and uncovering truth and justice.
It's about growing up and learning, and working through it with and without a support system.
TW: (though there is one at the beginning of the novel) sexual, verbal, physical assault and abuse, r*pe, fatphobia, missing and murdered indigenous women
(Just a side note: The only real problem I have with it is the fat phobia (more on Tommy than Phoenix). Normally, I don't tend to point out stuff like this, because we've other problems in the world than worrying about fat phobia (this coming from a "fat" person, me), especially with a novel like this one. But it was just so apparent, and I've never heard of anyone addressing it in regards to this novel, so I figured it would be worth pointing out in a review.)
