A year ago Joan's husband walked out on her, but there's something about that night that doesn't seem quite right to her even though everyone is telling her it's time to start moving on. Then, he reappears in a very unlikely place, not acting at all like himself, and Joan has to start to put together the pieces of a mystery if she wants her husband back. This was great!! Dimaline has established herself as an author that I can trust to tell a fascinating story, keep me invested, give me characters to root for, and lore that grounds the story in myth and culture. Really enjoyed this one!
