This book was sad and covered some hard topics, but an incredibly good read. I didn‘t want the story of these women to end. #FoodAndLit #Canada

Children of My Heart | Gabrielle Roy

The life of a young teacher in 30s Manitoba. Her pupils‘ poverty is incredible. Meanwhile, where I live, the fog outside is so thick right now it‘s like living in cotton wool...

Adventures_of_a_French_Reader J'avais bien aimé Un jardin au bout du monde, merci pour cette recommandation ;) J'avais beaucoup aimé ses descriptions, très bien écrites, merci de m'avoir refait penser à cette écrivaine. 1mo
Catsandbooks Oh wow! 1mo
kwmg40 Nice to see a recommendation for Gabrielle Roy. I've not read this one, but I've read and liked very much several of her other books. 4w
Dilara @Adventures_of_a_French_Reader @kwmg40 I don't know if I'd go as far as recommend it - her portrayals of minorities made me slightly uneasy sometimes - but it was an interesting window into another world and another time. 4w

And the Birds Rained Down | Jocelyne Saucier

Celebrating #FoodandLit #Canada month with a chip truck poutine. I mean, really, any excuse for a chip truck poutine is a good one. #iykyk

Tagging my last excellent #CanLit read if anyone is looking for recommendations!

Traci1 Omg I love poutine. Used to live in Vermont about a mile from the Canadian border, and I can honestly say the only thing I miss about the 4 years we lived there is the poutine. 1mo
BarbaraBB I have the book stacked already. Probably you‘re responsible for that! 1mo
rabbitprincess That looks like a good poutine 😋 1mo

Every Canadian should read this book! An Obibway boy who is taken from his culture to be in a residential school in the early 1960s. It is sad and full of racism. As a Canadian, I feel ashamed as to how this could have been allowed to happen to so many children.As a descendent of The Ojibway people (Great Great Grandmother was Ojibway from Sault st Marie, Ont), I felt for this little boy being taken away from his culture.This book touched my heart

And the Birds Rained Down | Jocelyne Saucier
post image

The emoji in the center of the flower says it all. The choice between And the Birds Rained Down and My Broken Language was painful!

Ultimately, I went with the title I did because it does *a lot* in few words. My Broken Language could be a bit rambly (but I‘d happily drown in her tidal wave of language forever).
