Indian Arm - by Hiro Kanagawa (Paperback)

About the Book

In this modern adaptation of Ibsen's Little Eyolf, award-winning author Hiro Kanagawa explores the uneasy intersection of privilege and birthright.

Book Synopsis

The Allmers live on native leasehold land in British Columbia, with their adopted son Wolfie, a sensitive First Nations sixteen-year-old with cerebral hypoxia. Wolfie--caught in the middle of an intense, unhappy mother and a resigned father--is the pressure point that continuously gathers heat. When his suppressed tension begins to surface, an unspeakable tragedy sends the family into a visceral tailspin.
