Kukum. Jean M.

A piercing novel about the love of a white girl and an Indian Inna, about the life of a large family against the backdrop of historical changes.

as all the children of Canadian settlers, Almandu was taught to hold on to their plunder and work in the field. But on the shore of the lake, she met an Indian who sailed on a canoe, and a free nomad beckoned her. The life of the family in the forest was incredibly happy, but an idyll? In short: progress came to the lands of the Indians and began to take away everything that is dear to Almande one after another. Gorky, but at the same time filled with intimate intonations and the light of memory, a novel about those whom they preferred not to notice for a long time. At the heart of the book? The story of the life of Kukum, that is, the grandmother of the writer.
