This book was so well done. This has some magical elements in it that helps to discuss the story’s very heavy topics brought to the attention of the reader through this book, which is alcoholism and suicide. I felt like this gave a look into how these two things are hurting Native American communities, while also telling a very compelling story with magical realism elements. This was a heavy book, but it left quite an impression.
