It isn’t very often that I come across a book that can inspire a three hour long book club discussion, and I had to drag myself away before it became four. The amount of cultural commentary, historical parallels, and pure emotional punch that Dimaline packs into less than 250 pages is incredible and stands with the best of the best in post-apocalyptic fiction. The characters are heartachingly vivid, the world-building is nuanced and elegant, and the future she foretells resembles our dark past in disturbingly prophetic ways. However, even in the face of all the negative, there is true beauty to be found in this story. The love the characters have for each other, the strength they find in their communities, and their defiant refusal to give up is extremely powerful, and it left me craving more. Dimaline is a powerhouse, and I can’t wait to read the next in the series.

Just when you think you have nothing left to lose, they come for your dreams.
Humanity has nearly destroyed its world through global warming, but now an even greater evil lurks. The Indigenous people of North America are being hunted and harvested for their bone marrow, which carries the key to recovering something the rest of the population has lost: the ability to dream. In this dark world, Frenchie and his companions struggle to survive as they make their way up north to the old lands. For now, survival means staying hidden - but what they don't know is that one of them holds the secret to defeating the marrow thieves.
