Description
In a ravaged world that is rushing to its destruction, human beings have lost the ability to dream. Only the indigenous peoples have been able to preserve this faculty whose secret lies in the marrow of their bones. Frenchie, a young Métis, flees the city to escape the desperate men who hunt the indigenous people like animals in order to obtain the precious substance. Already, his family has fallen under their hands. Alongside his traveling companions, Frenchie progresses north to reach the land of his ancestors and ensure the survival of his family. With Pilleurs de rêves, Cherie Dimaline creates a dystopian world as gloomy as it is disturbing, which is nevertheless not completely foreign to us. She manages to weave disturbing links between this fictional universe and the world in which we live, presenting a powerful allegory of colonialism in North America.
