Book #3 of 2023. The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline.
This story touched me. Set in the not-too-distant future we follow Frenchie through his dystopian struggle. Climate change has destroyed much of the earth’s resources and people lose the ability to dream. However, a “cure” is discovered in the marrow of the Indigenous - who do not lose their ability to dream. What follows is horrific: Native people groups (the story is set in Canada) are rounded up and placed in residential “schools” where they’re used to save the world.
Frenchie and his brother go on the run to escape the “recruiters” in charge of gathering people for the schools. Weaved into n among all this ugliness is a beautiful story of strength, love, family and perseverance. I cannot wait to read the sequel. My rating is 4 out of 5 stars.
