Prolific and award-winning Ojibway writer and playwright Drew Hayden Taylor returns with a new novel, his first full-length work of prose fiction for adults since 2010’s Motorcycles and Sweetgrass....The characters and settings are vividly imagined, and the plot proceeds with mounting suspense, although it’s slowed by extraneous prose and builds to something of an anticlimax. Nevertheless, readers will appreciate the touching depiction of family and friendship dynamics in childhood, and the novel’s suffusion with empathy makes it a worthwhile read.

"On the cusp of becoming teenagers, Ralph, his sister Shelley, and their friend William, befriend Danielle, an odd girl in their school. She draws an extraordinary horse in a competition created by Ralph's mother. It's the kind of drawing no child -- or adult, for that matter -- should be able to draw. It will haunt Ralph into adulthood, because it represents everything wrong in Danielle's life and everything she wished her life could be. As teenagers and later adults, Ralph, Shelley, and William are struck, trying to figure out what the horse means to the girl, and how they can help."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The ending is very ambiguous, but leaves room for hope.
This book was first a short story, then a play and finally this novel. I felt that I would have like to know more , but at 200 or so pages, it really made me think.
Recommended. 3.5 stars. I would have given it 4 stars, but it was just a bit short for my liking . ( )
