BOOK REVIEW 🔥 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ TW: death, rape, racism, abuse I didn’t know I could be this sad about a book. I moved to Canada at 20 years of age and honestly, I didn’t know much about its history until I arrived here. After learning a little bit about residential schools from a friend, I took it upon myself to read more about this certain part of Canada’s history so when I saw this book and read the synopsis, I knew I just have to read this. Thank you @douglasmcintyre2013 for giving me a copy! The book follows Saul, a young Ojibway kid who was taken at a very young age and was forced in St. Jerome’s Indian Residential School. It opens in a sad tone, becomes even sadder, then turns to exciting but eventually reveals a heartbreaking past and introduces a hopeful ending. Richard Wagamese wrote it beautifully and realistically. It invokes feelings of sadness, hatred, and anger. But it also shows how the power of spirit and love for family can help people heal. 10/10 would recommend this book. #qotd what other books about this certain phase of Canada’s history would you recommend? 🔖 #indianhorse #saulindianhorse #richardwagamese #douglasmcintyre #bookishcanadians #bookblogger #bibliophile #bookstagramcanada #bookstagramphilippines #bookstagramfeature #bookishcommunity #booksofinstagram #bookreview #bookreviewer #igreads #bookworld #bookworm #booksbooksbooks #readersofinstagram #bookgram #booklover #booknerd #bookcommunity #bookstagrammer #goodreads #historicalfiction #literaryfiction #sportsfiction #canadianliterature (at Calgary, Alberta) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfH_rWOLFOa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
