The first book I've ever read with a Metis storyline. Pages 300 and 301 felt like the were pages right out of my own experience. I've said those words, i've thought those words although likely not as eloquently as the author Katherena has done here. So poignant! I must copy them out into my journal.Chaz1066https://www.blogger.com/profile/16523712558253376941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3418389893792505863.post-25336331922112907662017-02-19T17:26:25.744-08:002017-02-19T17:26:25.744-08:00Hi Penny,

But there were so many characters that I needed to make my own spread sheet of characters so I had it right beside the text and could refer easily.<br /> But the language was so beautiful and it helped me to understand the life of indigenous women.<br />And.. I plan to spend two days this week breaking the code for "Fifteen Dogs"!

I found this novel confusing and I couldn't keep the characters straight. I was constantly looking back to see who was who. Ultimately the book just didn't engage me at all and I gave up at page 159. Life's too short! Don't you just love books and especially the readers of them? Thanks for continuing your blog - I love it!Genigalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403385454373689678noreply@blogger.com
