Description

"In his first novel, Kiss of the Fur Queen, famous playwright Tomson Highway tells the story of two Cree siblings who have been seriously abused at a Catholic residential college, and he utilizes the entire major energy of magic and fantasy, in addition to a persuasive conventional novel piece, to displace for them their self-esteem and, by inference, that of the people."—Toronto Globe and Mail"Highwayis novel vibrates with the pressure of the collision of two countries, the lengthy record of the people living at one with nature, and the assault of the forced conversion to Christianity. Psychologically sophisticated, amusing, symphonic and unfortunate, Kiss of the Fur Queen is just a remarkable book, full of guts, blood, existence and love."—Vancouver Sunlight
