Bøger om Ojibwa

Den midaldrende Lempi vender hjem til det indianerreservat i USA hvor hun voksede op, for at få klarhed over hvad der skete dengang for femogfyrre år siden hvor hendes mor, ojibwa-indianeren Rose, forsvandt sporløst. Lempis finske far Ettu mistede hukommelsen da Rose forsvandt og har siden også mistet forstanden, men da datteren vender hjem, begynder han langsomt at kunne huske, og Ettu og Roses smukke kærlighedshistorie med dens bratte slutning bliver gradvist stykket sammen. En mørk skikkelse, Wendigo, lurer i periferien og spiller muligvis en rolle i både fortidens og nutidens forbrydelser. Rose er væk handler om kærlighed, uopfyldte drømme og om at finde sine rødder. Det er en vild og lyrisk fortælling som myldrer med sanselige beskrivelser af natur, mennesker og dyr.

A delightful and gentle story about a young Two-Spirit Indigenous child celebrating his identity, overcoming bullying, and bonding with his family. This dual language edition contains the story in both Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) and English.
