The Colour of Dried Bones

By Lesley Belleau

A beautifully written collection of interconnected short stories told primarily through the eyes of a young Anishinaabe woman struggling with her relationships with lovers, friends, family, children, community and culture. As some relationships dissolve or are wrenched apart, others endure and gain strength. An intimate glimpse into the reality faced by many young First Nations women, The Colour of Dried Bones is by turns dark and brooding, sensual and filled with intense longing, infused with anger and brutality and, ultimately, uplifting in its portrayal of one woman's winding path to reclaim her culture and sense of self.
