Le Bras coupé

by ASSINIWI BERNARD

Lorsque six Blancs en état d'ébriété s'en prennent à Minji-mendam, «celui qui se souvient», et lui tranchent malencontreusement la main droite au cours d'une échauffourée, le destin de cet Indien bascule. Il se cache en forêt et fourbit les armes de sa vengeance contre les colonisateurs racistes qui ont abusé de leur pouvoir. Pour cet Algonquin humilié et mutilé, le sang appelle le sang.

Reviews

[Louisa Blair]

I wrote a whole review of this wonderful book on a piece of paper and then the piece of paper got thrown away. I loved this book but I already wrote a review of it which is in the garbage. It sat on my desk for about a year and then eventually I looked at it and thought, I'll throw it away.

This book is an absolute masterpiece of it's own. The characters names were a bit confusing at first but it was fine when I continued reading it. The story and story line was wonderful and the feelings that the author evokes in this book is incredible. I'm a cégep student and am forced to read multiples books for our French classes but this book in particular was incredible and wonderful to read, I had multiple emotions while reading and this is why I am rating it 5 stars.

[Léonie Boudreault · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un livre intéressant plein de descriptions fortes et dont les relations entre anglais, français et autochtones sont bien tissées.

[Miriam Blair · Rating 4 out of 5]

Darkly funny, and very educational for me about early cohabitation between different peoples in Quebec.

[Rachel Baker · Rating 2 out of 5]

Le traitement des personnages féminins laisse à désirer.

Histoire simple et touchante. Histoire qu'on ne peux pas lire sans se sentir coupable envers les autochtones💔.
