Summary
:
Kuessipan ("to you" in the Innu language) is an extraordinary, meditative novel about life among the Native Innu people in the wilds of the Canadian North. With grace and perfect pitch, Naomi Fontaine conjures up a world that reads like no other, and a community of nomadic hunters and fishers, of mothers and children that endures a harsh, sometimes cruel reality with quiet dignity.
