Magical Mystery Ride

A Girl Called Echo Omnibus (Combined Volume) by Katherena Vermette

November 2, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A while back, I read the first volume in A Girl Called Echo series. And recently I was given a finished copy of the Omnibus. I like the word omnibus. I picture a large bus that has wings or something magical about it. And it carries a lot of things inside of it.  And that fits this story by Katherena Vermette as they created a story that has elements of the here and now, and time travel. Or a bit of magic.

 The Break was a recent book club selection that was part of being intentional about not just reading yet another novel about white, middle-class North Americans in their 30’s.   2017 has been about intentionally divresifying the reading list, and man, aren’t we all just better for that? This book is set in Winnipeg, Manitoba and focuses on a Metis family (and their friends) dealing with several crises in each of their lives.  The chapters focus alternately on several members of the family from various […]
