Named a Best Novel of the Decade by Literary Hub Saul Indian Horse
is a child when his family retreats into the woods. Among the lakes
and the cedars, they attempt to reconnect with half-forgotten
traditions and hide from the authorities who have been kidnapping
Ojibway youth. But when winter approaches, Saul loses everything:
his brother, his parents, his beloved grandmother--and then his
home itself. Alone in the world and placed in a horrific boarding
school, Saul is surrounded by violence and cruelty. At the urging
of a priest, he finds a tentative salvation in hockey. Rising at
dawn to practice alone, Saul proves determined and undeniably
gifted. His intuition and vision are unmatched. His speed is
remarkable. Together they open doors for him: away from the school,
into an all-Ojibway amateur circuit, and finally within grasp of a
professional career. Yet as Saul's victories mount, so do the
indignities and the taunts, the racism and the hatred--the
harshness of a world that will never welcome him, tied inexorably
to the sport he loves. Spare and compact yet undeniably rich,
Indian Horse is at once a heartbreaking account of a dark chapter
in our history and a moving coming-of-age story.
