- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5i was prety good would recemond to the peoples yeah.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this book -- loved the history of the Bonus Army, the spotlight on Hobo culture, and complicated portrayal of Residential schools. I found Cal and his Father's relationship very moving. I thought the story was really well paced and the history felt really alive. Particularly liked that Cal (biracial) didn't know his heritage until partly through the book -- that's an important facet of Native cultural genocide in the US that is not often portrayed. Loved to see him connect with the other boys at the Residential school, despite the toxic and harmful nature of the place.
There's so much in this story that is sensitively portrayed -- from the appalling treatment of WWI veterans, to the change that their march on Washington ultimately caused, to the different struggles of characters based on their race. I think it's a particularly apt choice in time to write about, given recent history in the US -- a reminder of how much has not changed, but also a reminder of the power in social unrest to effect change.
