Description:🎧Listening Length = 8 hours and 51 minutesA “searingly captivating” Earphones Award winner (Library Journal) that “brings a web of interconnected voices to vivid life” (Publishers Weekly): Determined to find the truth behind her heritage, Carter traces the roots of her Indigenous Canadian family through generations of Métis women, both living and dead. “Porter’s dreamlike writing is enhanced by a delicate soundtrack” (AudioFile) and full-cast narration.Award-winning author Michelle Porter makes her fiction debut with an enchanting and original story of the unrivaled desire for healing and the power of familial bonds across five generations of Métis women and the land and bison that surround them. Written like a crooked Métis jig, A Grandmother Begins the Story follows five generations of women and bison as they reach for the stories that could remake their worlds and rebuild their futures. Carter is a young mother, recently separated. She is curious, angry, and on a quest to find out what the heritage she only learned of in her teens truly means. Allie, Carter's mother, is trying to make up for the lost years with her first born, and to protect Carter from the hurt she herself suffered from her own mother. Lucie wants the granddaughter she's never met to help her join her ancestors in the Afterlife. And Geneviève is determined to conquer her demons before the fire inside burns her up, with the help of the sister she lost but has never been without. Meanwhile, Mamé, in the Afterlife, knows that all their stories began with her; she must find a way to cut herself from the last threads that keep her tethered to the living, just as they must find their own paths forward. This extraordinary novel, told by a chorus of vividly realized, funny, wise, confused, struggling characters—including descendants of the bison that once freely roamed the land—heralds the arrival of a stunning new voice in literary fiction.Audiobook is Read by a Full cast: Mamé - Tantoo Cardinal (she/her)Geneviève - Jani Lauzon (she/her)Velma - Tara Sky (she/they)Lucie - Monique Mojica (she/her)Allie - Lisa Cromarty (she/her)Carter - Jenny Pudavick (she/her)Bio Sister - Kiawentiio (she/her)Solin - Michelle Porter (she/her)Dee - Alison Deon (she/her)Tell - Jacob MacInnis (they/them)Grasslands - Elle-Màijà Tailfeathers (she/her)Perkins - Bernard Starlight (he/him)Lottery - Dakota Ray Hebert (she/her)Bets (the Volvo) - Yolanda Bonnell (they/she)Slavko - Wesley French (he/him)Pam - Brefny Caribou (she/her)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
