Résumé
After a proposed subdivision becomes the site of a Mohawk protest -- the land, which has long formed a kind of neutral border between a reserve and the neighbouring town, is contested -- tensions escalate through three sweltering summer months,… exposing old wounds, as well as forging new and surprising connections. The story is told in the voices of several characters, from the restless young Mohawk woman dreaming of adventure and fame in the wider world; to the successful businessman who has made good use of his position between two communities; to the high school hero whose inner life would shock his admirers; and to the unexpected lovers, who must weigh happiness against history and fierce pride. 2014.
