Suluti by Tuutalik Boychuk
"* Thanks to the author and LibraryThing for an ARC. *

I'm rounding up a 2.5 Star review to 3 here because this really is a fresh setting for an Alien Contact story, and there are some very nice SF elements in the story. There are characters, setting, " Read more of this review »

"Peacefully, even placidly, Earth slides into another Copernican revolution, this time it's Homo Sapiens that is no longer the center of the universe.

I love the way this book undoes so many ingrained tropes of alien encounter and futuristic fiction.Th" Read more of this review »
Suluti by Tuutalik Boychuk
"Disclaimer: I received a copy via a Librarything giveaway.

There are times when I wish I could give two separate independent sets of stars, and this is one of them.

Quotes by Tuutalik Boychuk  (?)

“Overall, I was very comfortable, confident and proud of being a healthy young woman without the need to announce it for the entire world to see. Vive la difference: some like to flaunt, some do not have that need to flaunt even if they have the same amount of pride – both are equally valid ways of being, neither should be belittled. Both ends of this spectrum and every point along the way can be embraced by all.

All that to say that I had the same attitude with my Inuk identity: I was and still am so deeply comfortable, confident and proud of being Inuk, I thought this was no big deal.

Now, I know better.”
Tuutalik Boychuk, Tiita's Daughter

“Without knowing it, people have so much energy tied up in just surviving, or dealing with everyday life. This is why, for thousands of generations, we’ve existed with latent powers unknown to us.”
