3.5

A first novel that traces the remarkable friendship between two young indigenous Canadians, Ezzy and Grey, and their quest to restore some balance to nature by relocating bison to urban parks in Edmonton. Ezzy and Grey take turns narrating chapters, in a tone that is matter-of-fact, yet sometimes heartbreaking in its casualness. A beautiful story, and I’ll look forward to Kerr’s development as a novelist.
