- Summary:
- This Powerful Novel about a woman's rediscovery of self reinforces Lee Maracle's stature as one of the most important First Nations writers in North America. The novel incorporates an innovate structure -- one based on Salish Nation storytelling -- to depict the transformation of Marilyn, a modern-day First Nations woman who is alienated from her culture, family and self. By listening to the wind and the natural world, Marilyn begins to heal her deep-rooted, inherited hurt. As she discovers her own culture's ways, she is gradually reconciled with the most important people in her life -- her estranged daughters. Here is a moving work about First Nations people in the modern world and the importance of courage, truth and reconciliation.
