They accept her as one of their own: Almanda learns their language, how to live a nomadic existence, and begins to break down the barriers imposed on Indigenous women. Unfolding over the course of a century, the novel details the end of traditional ways of life for the Innu, as Almanda and her family face the loss of their land and confinement to reserves, and the enduring violence of residential schools. Kukum intimately expresses the importance of Innu ancestral values and the need for freedom nomadic peoples feel to this day"--- Subjects: Biographical fiction.; Historical fiction.; Novels.; Jean, Michel, 1960-; French-Canadian women; Great-grandmothers; Indigenous women; Orphans; First Nations; First Nations; Innu; Innu; Residential schools;

Its residents deal with pollution, poverty, and the legacy of racism--and strange and magical things are happening: children rule over their own kingdom in the trees and burned houses regenerate themselves. When Gloria arrives looking for answers and her missing granddaughters, at first she finds only a hungry mouse in the derelict home where her daughter was murdered. But the neighbours take pity on her and she turns to their resilience and impressive gardens for sustenance. When a strange intuition sends Gloria into the woods of Parc Rouge, where the city's orphaned and abandoned children are rumored to have created their own society, she can't imagine the strength she will find. A richly imagined story of community and a plea for persistence in the face of our uncertain future, The Future is a lyrical testament to the power we hold to protect the people and places we love--together."--- Subjects: Alternative histories (Fiction); Dystopian fiction.; Magic realist fiction.; Novels.; Children; Daughters; Dystopias; Grandmothers; Grief; Missing children; Older women; Orphans; Resilience (Personality trait); Urban violence;
