And the Birds Rained Down | Jocelyne Saucier

Pickpick

A great fire, a man who wandered for years haunted by the fire and his lost loves, and a photographer trying to find s ghost but, instead, finding society‘s refugees. This was a plotless novel with a great deal of philosophizing on aging and death.

What splendid evocative writing! The excerpt pictured is from page 1. I‘m only on chapter 6 and I am going to savor each and every one.

#WhereAreYouMonday

I find myself in Canada today. I‘ve just started the inaugural #OhCanada read. New author for me and the first couple chapters are promising, though I know it‘s also going to make me sad.

Prairiegirl_reading Richard Wagamese is one of my favourite authors! I have not read this one but I‘ve read a number of his others and I think I‘ve rated them all 5 stars. I hope you enjoy it. And yes have the tissues ready. 1w
Ruthiella @Prairiegirl_reading Thanks for the heads up on the tissues! I will try to prepare myself. 1w
BiblioLitten I‘m starting this too! I was in Kamchatka Peninsula and am just about to start Wagamese! 1w

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finished this for #ohcanada a few days ago and forgot to update.

Amazing book looking into the effects and horrors of residential schools and treatment of #indigenous Canadians. Told as the story of a young boy, Saul Indian Horse, as he grows up.

Really interesting insight. Be prepared if you don‘t understand hockey to read a lot about it. I think it would be fine if you don‘t know a lot but as a fan this was a bonus for me.

Jess861 I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! Definitely an important but dark part of Canadian history. 2w

#12BooksOfChristmas November @Andrew65

I think November was my best reading month of the year so it was hard to pick. This book stuck with me the most though- and I never would have read it if it weren‘t for #FoodAndLit #Canada

LeeRHarry I finished this just before the end of 2024 and know I‘ll be thinking of it for some time. 2w
Andrew65 Not a book I know but looks good. 2w
BarbaraBB I purchased this (probably based on your review) but haven‘t read it yet 2w
kspenmoll This sounds intriguing! 2w
Tamra This one is so good! I look for this book every time I go to a bookshop, but haven‘t found it yet. 2w

repost for @Jess861:

The Oh Canada book club officially kicks off tomorrow with Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese. We will select a book to read every two months and I will post a small discussion at the end of each book for those who wish to participate. This is about as low key as it gets and everyone is welcome!

I look forward to exploring Canadian authors and books with you all!
