Kukum

A piercing novel about the love of a white girl and an Innu Indian, about the life of a large family against the backdrop of historical changes.
Like all Canadian settler children, Almanda was taught to hold on to her plot... of land and work in the fields. But on the shore of a lake, she met an Indian who arrived by canoe, and the free nomad life beckoned to her. The family's life in the forest was incredibly happy, but the idyll was short-lived: progress came to the lands of the Indians and began to take away everything dear to Almanda one by one. A bitter, yet at the same time filled with intimate tones and the light of memory, a novel about those who had long been preferred to be unnoticed. At the heart of the book is the story of the life of Kukum, meaning the writer's grandmother.
