This short review originally appeared in Hamilton Magazine (which also makes a great stocking stuffer.)
Smoke River, the debut novel from Hamilton’s Krista Foss, broaches some weighty topics: Aboriginal rights, racism, classism, urbanization. However, it’s the tender relationships forged between impeccably developed characters that make the book unforgettable. Tensions flare when a proposed subdivision threatens the land between a First Nations reserve and a neighbouring town. Through her vivid imagery and the distinct voices of multiple characters, Foss brings readers inside the conflict. Readers can’t help but empathize with the mosaic of complex characters caught in the storm of turbulent times.
The idea of 12 books for a Hamilton lover. And Smoke River is a natural pick. It was great. Can't wait to see what else you come up with.

The gray rat Irving is not doing well. After visits to the vet and some antibiotics the only other course of action for his respiratory infection is a steam nebulizer treatment. Last night I put both rats in a cage and set them in the bathroom while I showered, hoping the hot, moist air would help. It did not.
