Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Note: I received a digital review copy of this book through NetGalley. Moody and haunting art carries this vaguely told but moving and important story about missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIW or MMIWG). I recommend looking into the subject and checking out this other short graphic novel on the subject: Surviving the City by Tasha Spillett. And take a moment to listen to the related songs of iskwē, who provided the story for this book: Will I See and Nobody Knows. Black and white drawings with splashes of read are starkly appropriate to illustrate this story that highlights the violence faced by Native women. The topic is timely and powerful, and the art is both beautiful and gruesome. The storyline is suffused with magical/spiritual traditional beliefs, and while I appreciated that, I also sometimes found it difficult to understand what was happening. I confess that I was probably hampered by my own lack of familiarity with some of the Native storytelling traditions that informed this piece. Well worth a read, and sometimes what we don't understand can be as education as what we do. I received a copy of this ebook from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
