This sounds extremely powerful. I love books that aren’t afraid to show the dark side of history.

In reply to Casee Marie. It is sad, because, honestly, can anyone look at what happened to the Native Americans and not think it's a tragedy, but the realism of Mustafa and his situation and how he lives with it is so well done, I loved it.

In reply to Jackie Cangro. It is sad, Jackie, but at the same time shows the power of human resilience. And her writing brings the time to life.

I’ve read several reviews of this book but none as well written and detailed. This is surely a sad tale, but it seems to be one worth reading.

Wow, this sounds like a really heartbreaking, powerful read. I love that it tells the story of conquest in America from such a non-traditional perspective.

What a lovely review. This line especially: “She writes with such strength and surety of this long ago time that you expect to look up and see forest from the doorway of your hut.” Very intrigued. I don’t love a sad story, but sometimes you can’t deny the power of emotion; it’s a necessity for a fully rounded experience as a reader, I think. I’ll definitely be adding this to my reading list!
