Unweaving: A Novel [9781990160400]

Overview

We are like the sash, woven together from different peoples and traditions, making something new, beautiful, and strong.

In 1869, the arrival of surveyors from the new Dominion of Canada sends ripples of anxiety through the people of Red River. As the Métis Nation begins negotiating terms for joining Confederation, each member of the Rougeau family adapts in their own way: Clément looks outward, trying to maintain his livelihood as a carter, while his wife, Marienne, looks inward, determined to hold their fracturing family together. Julien, the elder son, joins Louis Riel to confront the same intruders who so impress his sister, Charlotte. As the Red River Resistance unfolds, the consequences of each choice become heartbreakingly clear.

Red River Métis author Cheryl Parisien combines research, family history, and historical events in this story of a pivotal moment in the birth of a sovereign nation.
