#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. 2mo
Andrew65 Not a book I know but looks good. 2mo
BarbaraBB I purchased this (probably based on your review) but haven‘t read it yet 2mo
kspenmoll This sounds intriguing! 2mo
Tamra This one is so good! I look for this book every time I go to a bookshop, but haven‘t found it yet. 2mo

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

Tough to read, tougher to review. Multiple narrators (at least 10, one of whom is not named at the top of her passages, and only one in first-person) in this multi-generational family story of surviving both specific and general trauma; lots of sentence fragments; present-tense writing (except when it‘s not) - it‘s a lot to track. It‘s good, but tough. Vermette is an indigenous Canadian writer, and very promising. TWs below.

jlhammar Loved this book! Can't wait for her newest, out in September 2y
ravenlee @jlhammar I didn‘t realize this book was part of a cycle, but it makes sense. Now I need to track down the middle book, but I think it‘ll be a while before I can come back to this world. 2y

An emotional page turner - this one is realistic, with a haunting violence that permeates the pages and adds an edgyness that feels authentic and experienced. Vermette can tell a story that is for damn sure!

Cathythoughts Nice review 👍🏻Such a good book. 2y
Creadnorthey #Cathythoughts you are so right! Days later still haunted and impacted… 2y

Not a cheery holiday read by any means, but one with resilient, tough women who take care of one another in a brutal world.💕

Hunkering down for a blizzard. ❄️💨 This seems to be an apropos pick and one I‘ve been wanting to read in print for quite a while. I‘m thrilled to see the favorable Litsy reviews.

jlhammar Loved this book! 2y
Tamra @jlhammar just got to the 😳 part. Definitely not a warm & fuzzy holiday read, but really engrossing. 2y
Cathythoughts I loved this book too ❤️ 2y
