"Life was a like a language I couldn't speak."

Wow. I dove into this book not knowing much other than it's an Indigenous horror novella. What I got now is a brilliant character study of a woman struggling with her mental health, insecurities, Indigenous identity, her drive to create art, and her reconciling nature with life and death.

I have to say, the imagery and the prose in this book is something else. Something entirely its own.

Overall, this was an incredible mix of both unsettling and profound.
