In April, we read Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton. 

Five years ago, Mira Bunting founded a guerrilla gardening group: Birnam Wood. For years, the group has struggled to break even. Then Mira stumbles on an answer, a way to finally set the group up for the long term: a landslide has closed the Korowai Pass, cutting off the town of Thorndike. Natural disaster has created an opportunity, a sizable farm seemingly abandoned. But Mira is not the only one interested in Thorndike.

In May, we read Unbroken by Angela Sterritt.

Unbroken is an extraordinary work of memoir and investigative journalism focusing on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, written by an award-winning Gitxsan journalist who survived life on the streets against all odds.

In June, we read Kukum by Michel Jean. 

A novel based on the life of Michel Jean's great-grandmother, this Quebec bestseller delivers an intimate and elegiac glimpse into an Innu community at a time of seismic change.
