Product Description
Product Description
Red Rooms is a unique journey articulating the lives of the Native patrons of an urban hotel as seen through the eyes of the hotels cleaning lady. The characters face the crises in their lives in ways that are easily identifiable and not uncommon to Native people. What is unique about this collection of stories is Dimaline's sometimes cryptic, sometimes comedic, always compassionate and visionary housekeeper who offers hindsight, insight and foresight to the reader in the representation of their lives.
"Haunting and complex Red Rooms is the Native Rosetta Stone. A lovely tour de force from an up-and-coming writer to watch." Eden Robinson

The story of a group of urban natives dealing with their new lives inside an apartment building,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Red Rooms (Paperback)
The native peoples of this continent are always depicted as living with nature - but this is a modern era, and they have moved on. "Red Rooms" is the story of a group of urban natives dealing with their new lives inside an apartment building, written with great and deft skill invoking countless emotions from the reader, to make them laugh, cry, and care for the characters they find in these stories. "Red Rooms" is enthusiastically recommended for community library collections catering to literary fiction.
