this was a very well crafted book and apparently was a very important turning point in canadian literature and I can very much respect the importance of this story being told. but dear god it was a distressing read, I felt sick all day after finishing it

Lisa Pineo I read this in school when I was probably around 9 and while I don't remember all the details, I still remember it being incredibly moving and an important book to have read in my childhood.
