Show Notes
Canadian actress Michelle St. John narrates this exhilarating novel with a sure sense of pace and a grip on its intense emotions. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile contributor Alan Minskoff discuss the nuanced narration of the new novel from Cherie Dimaline (Georgia Bay Métis). The story centers around protagonist Joan’s quest to bring back her wayward husband, who has been entranced by a rugaro (half-man, half-wolf). The rendering of the Indigenous descendants of Ontario’s Métis people is done expertly.
