Child: Winter Child

child: A semi-autobiographical novel of a M tis mother's grief for her son, Winter Child shifts between first- and third-person, a device that allows the mother to narrate her loss from both within and outside herself, according to Globe and Mail. The winter child's early death seems fated from birth. Visual artist and writer Virginia P s map o Bordeleau, who is of Cree origin, has published several significant works of French Indigenous writing Ourse bleue; De rouge et de blanc . Winter Child, however, is her first book translated into English. Yet Winter Child isn't fatalistic; instead, its logic is of lineage, as much about the mother's relation to her father as to her son. May more French Indigenous writing find its way into English. How is she to live past the death of her child Both raw and poetic, P s map o Bordeleau's novel is ultimately about healing and continuance, through dreams, ceremony and the partner who is meant for the time.
