Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese is included in this how-to-book-club-like-a-boss! We agree this award-winning, CBC Canada Reads selection, which chronicles the troubled life of Saul Indian Horse, will have readers talking about love, family and the power of spirit.
One of the novels on Alberta's banned book list is The Lesser Blessed by @richardvancamp.bsky.social. We've shared some of Richard's words about what this book has meant to him, and we hope that they will be cause for reflection about what is going on in the province.
