Read What I know about you by Éric Chacour

A bold, darkly funny debut, this novel follows Charlie Francis, a mixed-ancestry Mi'kmaw woman whose carefully crafted five-year plan unravels as her graduate thesis stalls, her beloved uncle dies, and her relationship collapses. Determined to assert her independence, she pursues academia despite the racism of a predominantly white institution—only to find herself unexpectedly pregnant and facing single motherhood. As she grapples with grief, financial strain, and the weight of colonial history, Charlie must reconcile her ambitions with her identity and responsibilities. With grit and humor, the story explores family, love, and what it means to forge a new path when the old one falls apart.
