Through Black Spruce

Author: Joseph Boyden
Stars: 5
Review by: berta

I am on a Canadian Indian quest. Such a sad story for them being wrested from their families and having their culture erased by forced education in the government schools. This story is told in alternating chapters from the point of view of an aging former bush pilot comatose after a beating and his beloved niece who is struggling with a missing sister. So well done and informative about the Native life. What a good writer no one in the USA has ever heard of.
