This tale, employing magic realism as a tool in literary fiction, with talking crows and “unlikely angels,” illustrates how alternative worlds and characters are often created as a survival mechanism when trauma presents itself. The notion that re-storying oneself can bring healing is succinctly knitted into the stories that connect each character. The stories are what eventually connect the protagonist to her own power.
Sad but beautiful book! It is my second time reading it. The story is sad and a bit haunting but it also has beautiful visuals! I also love how it talks about many different local places in New Brunswick!
