#wronglyincarcerated

Good though a bit dry: chosen prompt for #Booked2023 #WronglyIncarcerated. This is a historic case in Canada. The first part is about the unjust incarceration of a Mi‘kmaq teen for 11 years in Nova Scotia in the 70s, leading to the Royal Commission that resulted in permanent changes to the legal system. 10 years later his controversial assertion of his Indigenous right to fish for eel in any season, also led to legal pro-Indigenous changes.

Mehso-so

While looking for a book for #booked2023,this one was tagged for #wronglyincarcerated.I have enjoyed the author‘s books in the past,but this one had too much going on for me.Characters barely developed.While Kay is planning a Library fundraiser at the Carrington Estate,she meets Peter Carrington and they marry. Kay‘s father had been the Landscape Designer there until he supposedly committed suicide.Complicated. Stuck with it for the prompt.

Cinfhen Sorry you had to suffer through this one 😟but hurray for completing the prompt 😂 2y
DivineDiana @Cinfhen Thank you! I‘m all about the prompts these days! 😂😘📚 2y

I wasn‘t joking @sarahbarnes when I said I wanted to read this right away😉Here we go! And so far, I‘m LOVING the tone ( narration is fantastic) LOTS of f bombs for those who don‘t like foul language. #ToB23 longlist

squirrelbrain Ooh great spot on #booked2023! I think I‘ll get this to read next year. 2y

Cinfhen @squirrelbrain this book is definitely making my top 5 of 2022 - I really recommend if u are able to find the audio - narration is fantastic 🙌🏻🎧❤️ 2y
BarbaraBB Your top 5? Wow! 2y
Cinfhen The inner voice of Carlotta is SO hilarious and you know it‘s really tragic, all the shit she‘s dealing with, but Carlotta refuses to be seen as a victim- she‘s so damn likeable @BarbaraBB even when she‘s totally effing up. I didn‘t realize this is the same author as 2y
sarahbarnes Glad you‘re liking it so far! I agree her inner voice is priceless. And yes, I didn‘t realize until I started reading that he also wrote Delicious Foods. 2y
Cinfhen It just turned darker than I anticipated @sarahbarnes and it‘s not really as funny anymore, just heartbreaking now but I‘m still smitten 🥰 2y
squirrelbrain Of course, there is no audio in the UK 🤷‍♀️ but I‘ll keep my fingers crossed it might appear somewhere soon! 2y
Cinfhen I‘m sure it will @squirrelbrain 2y
