Welcome to Litsy!

Five generations of Metís women, how their lives intersect & separate, the cycle of family trauma, & the connection of life to earth.

Honestly, this was lovely to listen to, but occasionally so confusing I had to rewind several times. POVs of the women, bison, dogs, a car, the Earth itself made for an interesting, intense, inspiring, & very confusing read. This is not a book to listen to while trying to do other things.?????

A book from the point of view of a zombie after the apocalypse seems like a good idea. And I found the first few pages pretty funny. Unfortunately not long after that I got really bored with it. It felt very stream-of-conscious, with not much plot. I made it to about 40%.

We do not care that we have other things to do. We are planning our reading for the rest of the year … and beyond. #wdncw

I‘m not in the right frame of mind for this book BUT I loved this quote

4⭐️ Really enjoyed this book and I am kinda glad I read it after all the hype had died down to read it. Looking forward to the next book in the series. #2025 #fiction #historicalfiction #literary #friendship #comingofage

I never read as much as I think I will on vacation 😅

familiarize yourself with Magdalene Laundries before reading this otherwise you may miss the full emotional weight. I wanted more aftermath, but maybe that was the point. that small mercies fight systems built on shame & kindness doesn‘t always come with closure. ⛪️

Gritty and brutal. The words get the job done but with no beauty.
