Marion is a twenty-something Ojibwa Indian who returns to his hometown after breaking up with his boyfriend in the twin cities. He is looking for love an ends up in an affair with a former classmate who insists he is straight. Marion has other things going on, he is visited by the ghost of a murdered man whose daughter Marion met on accident. This subplot is interesting as Marion doesn't really believe in spirits or anything like ghosts as he is told by an elder, those are white man beliefs. However, he accepts the appearance of this spirit and helps to introduce him to his daughter. The magical realism part of the book didn't put me off. The audio was slightly hard to follow as points of view changed and it was difficult to keep up at times. Still, a nice job by Kaipo Schwab, a new narrator to me.
