"The Marrow Thieves" by Cherie Dimaline

Bring Your Own Book

BYOB, the Bring Your Own Book Podcast, is back for Season 2 featuring your favourite bookworms Nikki, Kelly, and Tilly! Every episode we'll discuss the book we read and pair it with a drink inspired by the book.

We’re so happy to have Jess Owens as a special guest once again!
In this episode, we’re talking about “The Marrow Thieves” by Cherie Dimaline, which was first published in 2017. It’s a disturbing but important read, especially for non-Indigenous people in Canada and elsewhere, as we endeavour to honour truth and reconciliation and grapple with the shameful colonial history of our country and the unceded territory we live on.
The drink we’ve chosen to pair with this episode is a locally made berry oolong tea blend – we chose this drink as it felt like something the characters could forage and make with their kettle during their years on the run in the forest.

** Book content/trigger warnings: death, grief, climate change, violence, residential schools, racism, sexual assault, genocide, and intergenerational trauma. **
