Description
Erin Tripp, a Lingít actor and performer, narrates this historical novel based on author Michel Jean’s Innu ancestry. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Kendra Winchester discuss how Tripp evokes the snowy landscape and beautiful sections of nature writing. Almanda Siméon, the daughter of Irish immigrants, falls in love with Thomas, an Innu man, and is welcomed in his Pekuakami Innu community. Tripp perfectly pastures Almanda’s horror and fury as she experiences the loss of her community’s Indigenous lands to the lumber industry and the removal of her children and grandchildren to residential schools. Tripp’s skillful narration makes for an immersive listening experience.
