| Entertaining read. Interesting in its context and scope, dealing with climate change and housing insecurity. At times the character depictions are weak, confusing, and leave me wondering how they got to where they were in the story. Perhaps the book ...more | |

| Found the characters to be cliched in terms of what is expected of Indigenous characters. Some clunky language. Decent story. | |

| Feels like the writer tried to do too much. Time travel and future mechanics of the novel are problematic and derail some of the storytelling. Character development was flat to weak. Rating reflects the potential and the early section enjoyment. Feel ...more | |

| Diction of the novel tells that the book was hunting for a Giller. But it reads more like Eli Cash novel from Royal Tennebaums except it has less scene level control and a much less interesting storyline than any of Cash's nonexistent novels. It's sh ...more | |

| Enjoyable read. Excellent living and breathing characters in this story. It truly feels alive. Toibin does well to capture the era and these specific and unique characters that inhabit it. | |

| Hardly a "Best of" Canadian Poetry without significant Indigenous or Francophone work contained within. Cover design is amateurish. Very disappointing, Canada needs a better take on this series that moves us past the weak "old stock" selectivity of w ...more | |

“Because history begins
by hammering chalk lines
onto sand and clay and only
stops when the last bank of lights
goes out for another prairie winter.
Yet, this summer night falls into
the white steady burn of streetlights
against a heavy ageless Indiana night.”

“The way the truth of it hits you
is less white-lighting whisky
more the slow arrival of fall
in a place that knows little
of hard, dug-in winters. Here

everything by the salvation
of the Lord, folks running from
those people everyone tries
to make us be. Daylight bends
through the trees and steady
songs of birds we cannot see.”
