Description

In this haunting and intimate novel, a Métis woman grapples with the sudden disappearance of her husband, the love of her life. A year into her desperate search, she stumbles upon him working as a short-order cook in a remote community, but he claims not to know her. As she unravels the mystery of his lost memory and identity, she finds herself drawn into a world of ancient legends and the terrifying figure of the rogariou, a creature of Métis folklore. This powerful story explores themes of love, loss, identity, and the enduring strength of Indigenous traditions, all woven together with Dimaline's signature blend of magical realism and raw emotional depth.
