In this dark world, Frenchie and his companions struggle to survive as they make their way up north to the old lands. The Indigenous people of North America are being hunted and harvested for their bone marrow, which carries the key to recovering something the rest of the population has lost: the ability to dream. Humanity has nearly destroyed its world through global warming, but now an even greater evil lurks. Just when you think you have nothing left to lose, they come for your dreams.
The high-stakes tension of each scene pulls the reader along through the story, with a core message about our dreams and culture, which despite losses, has the potential to heal, and the power to restore. In The Marrow Thieves, Cherie Dimaline creates a near-future world which distinctly echoes our own, current and past traumas that have come back to repeat themselves, fiction with a basis in reality that gives the narrative a sheen of hard truths, following the trials and tribulations of a relatable cast of characters and their struggles to survive, and live their lives with the love and safety denied to them. powerful and endlessly smart, it’s a crucial work of fiction for people of all ages."
