What it is like to be A Stranger at Home

June is National Indigenous History Month and June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada, so my reading app gave me some suggestions of books by Indigenous authors. I picked up a short book, A Stranger at Home, by Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret-Olemaun Pokiak-Fenton, about Margaret-Olemaun’s experience returning home from residential school. This is the sequel to Fatty Legs, her experience at residential school, but I have not read that one yet. I’ll probably pick it up later on this month.

Stories with Strong Fathers

Time for a Father’s Day blog post! It can be hard sometime to find representations of good fathers in literature. We have absent fathers, abusive fathers, and fathers who just drift in and out of the background. I confess that many of my characters have fathers who fall into these categories. They tend to come from traumatic backgrounds and/or families with secrets. But there are a few important exceptions.

A new twist in You Will Remember Me

I am currently reading You Will Remember Me by Hannah Mary McKinnon. Who doesn’t love an amnesia thriller and the excitement of unwrapping one layer after another of the patient’s story to find out who they really are and how they came to be there. It goes without saying that there are secrets, things that maybe even the sufferer does not want to remember. McKinnon does a masterful job of setting things up from the moment “Brad” wakes up on the beach with no memory of how he got there—or who he is. I am looking forward to finding out just what happened to bring him to that point.

Let this book take you Hostage

This week I am reading Hostage, a novel by Clare Mackintosh. Lots of interesting characters with different backgrounds and secrets, a daughter on the ground in peril and hundreds of people up in the sky at the mercy of a hostage taker. The tension is building… it will be interesting to see how the main character manages to take control of the situation and—presumably—land the airplane!
