À propos de cet audio

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

In this haunting and groundbreaking historical novel, Danielle Daniel imagines the lives of women in the Algonquin territories of the 1600s, a story inspired by her family’s ancestral link to a young girl who was murdered by French settlers.

1657. Marie, a gifted healer of the Deer Clan, does not want to marry the green-eyed soldier from France who has asked for her hand. But her people are threatened by disease and starvation and need help against the Iroquois and their English allies if they are to survive. When her chief begs her to accept the white man’s proposal, she cannot refuse him, and sheds her deerskin tunic for a borrowed blue wedding dress to become Pierre’s bride.

1675. Jeanne, Marie’s oldest child, is seventeen, neither white nor Algonquin, caught between worlds. Caught by her own desires, too. Her heart belongs to a girl named Josephine, but soon her father will have to find her a husband or be forced to pay a hefty fine to the French crown. Among her mother’s people, Jeanne would have been considered blessed, her two-spirited nature a sign of special wisdom. To the settlers of New France, and even to her own father, Jeanne is unnatural, sinful—a woman to be shunned, beaten, and much worse.

With the poignant, unforgettable story of Marie and Jeanne, Danielle Daniel reaches back through the centuries to touch the very origin of the long history of violence against Indigenous women and the deliberate, equally violent disruption of First Nations cultures.

Everyone must read

As an 1/2 Indginous 1/2 white women this story gripped me. It brought me to my own Dad, Chapan’s and all my other relations history to this land. Having 2S children this story hit really close to home. I love Jone like she was my own child the perspective of Mari was parallel to my own as a mother. I will always teach my children the way of this land the only land we know. Thank you for this story

A good story.

I enjoyed this story; and although I see other readers have criticized the author’s largely settler roots; I thought the story falls well within this writers arcs of fire.
I didn’t particularly love the writing or the dialogue. It was a bit awkward and stilted. Nevertheless; the story moved along quickly and I finished the book in several sittings so I can’t complain too loudly. It’s a book I would lightly recommend but I doubt I’d read it again.
To summarize, good story and one that felt well researched. The writing was not in a style that I found compelling but well written nonetheless.

eye opening

Hooked from the first chapter! What an amazing account of how the two cultures joined, but never completely, and of the abuses visited on the native people onder the guise of saving souls and survival.

Immersion into the culture and story

This was a story that evoked many emotions and is absolutely a portal into the time period, the cultures and the struggles of blending their beliefs and practices. Beautifully narrated - highly recommend this book.

I’m two-spirited and am tired of two-spirited, gay and lesbian characters dying in stories. I wouldn’t recommend this book.

Not impressed with this book because I’m tired of two-spirited, gay and lesbian characters being killed and dying in stories. I wouldn’t recommend this book to my friends.

Too difficult to suspend my disbelief.

I had high hopes for this story. Unfortunately, after a few chapters of listening, I could no longer ignore my disbelief. The premise of the story was good yet the language that the people from the 16th century supposedly spoke to each other was from the 21st century.

Just couldn't finish it.

Stopped reading at chapter 2

As an Algonquin person I was excited to read this story based on the description but after chapter 1 it felt hokey and false in a way that I can’t trust the contents of the story. I looked up the author and found out they are a white settler with a “root Algonquin ancestor” and for me that’s a red flag. It just doesn’t feel right to me for a settler to write a story that incorporates Indigenous history, culture, teachings, community and identity. I worry about the harms of what a settler representation of Indigenous cultures can do for Indigenous people looking to learn more or wanting to reconnect to their culture. Respectfully I am choosing to return this book.
