Enjoyable listen as an epilogue to the story begun in Moon of the Crusted Snow. This duology is not an action packed zombie type apocalyptic thriller, instead it is a description of a people reconnecting with the roots of their culture, one other, and nature “after the world goes dark.” I love how the collapse of civilization is largely a mystery and what few details emerge are fuzzy, but uncomfortably ordinary & and thus rather realistic.

Tamra I read the inspiration for the story comes from a true event, which was a wide spread power outage impacting the states and provinces. 😅 2w
Tamra I had to laugh though, how on earth were they drinking lake and river water without getting sick?! 😜 That‘s no no #1. (edited) 2w

I‘m so happy Rice wrote this follow up to Moon of the Crusted Snow. This one wasn‘t as good as the first, but it was a satisfying follow up. The audiobook had the same excellent narrator as well. #FoodAndLit #Canada

LiseWorks I'm reading the 1st one right now, I'll have to stack this one too. 4w
Texreader They both look interesting 4w
Catsandbooks Terrific! 🇨🇦 4w

#FoodandLit #Canada I made Cabbage Rolls it is unclear as to who invented this lovely dish, but we do have a lot of Ukrainian immigrants that came to Canada in the early 1900 s. I learned how to make it from a French Canadian lady. The recipe is very easy.
1. Cook beef with onions and add beef broth pouch until cooked. Cook rice separately. Mix the two together and add soya sauce. Don't be cheap but taste. ⬇️

LiseWorks Add cayenne peper to spice it up. Put the mix in leaves of cabbage and roll to put in casserole dish. Take a can of Campbells tomato soup. Mix with full can of water and mix. Sladder all over cabbage rolls and put cover on it and bake in over until cabbage is cooked. Serve with sour cream 😋 1mo

Texreader Positive I‘d love this (other than the cayenne) 1mo
LiseWorks @Texreader the cayenne is a personal choice. It is something I decided one day to add and now my family likes it lol 1mo
Dilara I had something pretty similar in Hungary 😁 https://budapestcookingclass.com/hungarian-stuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe-toltott-...
I guess every country where cabbage grows would have its own take on the dish 😁

LiseWorks @Dilara, this is the recipe my mom used to do with the rice uncooked with tomato sauce. But when I made mine for my dad, he loved mine more than my mom's. The campbell soup has spices in it that give it flavor, and yes, everyone has their own take on how to make them. I had some in Saskatchewan, and theirs had sausage in it. 1mo

@Mitch I saw you had read Moon of the Crusted Snow and wondered if you had read this one? I have it but have not read it yet. Also are you planning to read The Serviceberry?

Mitch I‘ve not read this one - thanks for the heads up…. There are sooo many good books ! 2mo

Beautifully written, honest, and gritty in a way that never felt performative or indulgent or trauma porn-y, this collection of linked short stories offers snippets of a girl then young woman's life from her family's immigration to Canada from Congo as a kid to her mid-20s. I loved how the stories spotlighted her complicated friendships with women. Content warnings for suicide, sexual assault, drugs, drinking. Oh Loli, I hope you are okay now ❤️
