A powerful book that seems to intentionally muddle the lines between speculative fiction and memoir. Tagaq’s chapters are filled with poetic language to describe a deep sense of connection to the Nunavut Tundra as well as the pain of addiction and a community of peers and elders alike broken by their experiences with Canada’s residential schools. I immensely appreciated listening to this one as an audiobook. Tagaq’s reading was an immersive experience as she included chapter breaks with her signature throat singing and practical sound effects.
