Product Description
This powerful novel about a Native woman's rediscovery of self reinforces Lee Maracle's stature as one of the most important First Nations writers in North America. The novel incorporates an innovate structure - one based on Salish Nation storytelling - to depict the transformation of Marilyn, a modern-day Native woman who is alienated from her culture, family and self. By listening to the wind and the natural world, Marilyn begins to heal the deep-rooted, inherited hurt that has numbed her life-force. As she discovers her own culture's ways, she is gradually reconciled with the most important people in her life - her estranged daughters. This is a moving and important work about First Nations people in the modern world, and the importance of courage, truth and reconciliation.
