"I watch the wind blowing ghosts into the drapes. I dream, close to waking, of the sound of footsteps in the air above me."
Soucouyant is told from the perspective of a young man, who returns home to care for his aging mother who has been living with dementia for years. It is a story about the immigrant experience in Canada, about racism, about family, and about forgetting. The writing is lovely, but I found the ending a bit information heavy? ⬇️
candority I would have liked if more of that information was sprinkled throughout the novel. This is my #Ontario pick for #ReadCanada and book 12 for #BookSpinBingo! (edited) 5y
