Absolutely riveting.","OtherText_Review_0_Src":"Eden Robinson, author of Monkey Beach","OtherText_Review_1":"The narrator of this story is dead. He misses feeling the skin of others, but he likes being about memory. It’s who we are siem. Katherena Vermette rendered the women of the North End gorgeous in her poetry: North End Love Songs. In The Break, she renders them sweet, beautiful battlers who love under the most horrific of circumstances. She points no fingers, just plots the story, person by person, memory by memory, until it is clear that we must give up the feeling of hopelessness that haunts the lives of these women. The Break is itself a beautiful love song of desire to live a full and rich life as cherished women — even when we cannot have that. We can hope. Resilient as the star world from which they arise these women reconcile with their lives without giving in to the horrors they have faced. Vermette captures the reader from beginning to end. She creates unforgettable characters with honor, respect and a deft hand. In so doing she holds the reader’s tender love in her capable hands and weaves us right into the story. The Break is unforgettable.","OtherText_Review_10":"A visionary debut novel.","OtherText_Review_10_Src":"CBC Books","OtherText_Review_11":"Stunning . . .

In The Break, the characters may be Métis, but the motivations and emotions are surely universal. This is an accomplished writer who will go far.","OtherText_Review_13_Src":"Margaret Atwood","OtherText_Review_14":"A debut novel brimming with grace and wisdom, that puts the spotlight on the systemic violence being committed in our country, [The Break] is both a wake-up call and a call-to-arms.

Katherena Vermette is a tremendously gifted writer, a dazzling talent.","OtherText_Review_2_Src":"Madeleine Thien, author of Do Not Say We Have Nothing","OtherText_Review_3":"Fiction is capable of helping us to comprehend difference and otherness, and The Break offers clear insight ino people struggling to secure a place in the world.","OtherText_Review_3_Auth":"Candace Fertile","OtherText_Review_3_Src":"Quill and Quire","OtherText_Review_4":"Katherena Vermette’s poignant novel, set in Winnipeg’s North End, opens with a violent crime that becomes the backdrop for a story of great depth and compassion. This masterfully written narrative shifts among the intergenerational voices of the women of one extended Indigenous family. The Break is a powerful, persuasive novel about the strength and love that bind these women to each other and to the men in their lives. The traditions and wisdom of a community are honoured, as is the exquisite individual humanity of each character. Although this is a novel of social importance, it transcends politics, taking the reader on a journey to the heart of what it means for one person to care about another, survive trauma, and endure.","OtherText_Review_4_Src":"2016 Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize Jury Lauren B. Davis, Trevor Ferguson, and Pasha Malla","OtherText_Review_5":"The Break manages to be political even when it isn’t. It’s a book that explores social issues without ever preaching, or even seeming to be about them at all. It examines the only element of those issues that matter: their human impact. It’s astonishing in its empathy... She doesn’t pull her punches or dress up her truths. The Break leaves it all bare, and it demands to be read.","OtherText_Review_5_Src":"The Uniter","OtherText_Review_6":"Vermette is skilled at writing with a language that is conversational and comfortable and with a poetic ease that makes the hard things easier to swallow. The result is a book that is at times emotionally demanding, funny, suspenseful, and always engaging.","OtherText_Review_6_Src":"The Winnipeg Review","OtherText_Review_7":"Vermette offers us a dazzling portrayal of the patchwork quilt of\npain and trauma that women inherit, of the \"big and small half-stories\nthat make up a life.\" These are the stories our mothers, sisters and\nfriends have told us - the stories we absorb into our bloodstream\nuntil they might as well be our own.\n\n..a stunning debut - a novel whose 10 voices, Greek chorus-like, span\nthe full range of human possibility, from its lowest depths to its\nmost brilliant triumphs, as they attempt to make sense of this tragic\ncrime and of their own lives. \"The Break\" is an astonishing act of\nempathy, and its conclusion is heartbreaking. A thriller gives us easy\nanswers - a victim and a perpetrator, good guys and bad guys. \"The\nBreak\" gives us the actual mess of life.","OtherText_Review_7_Src":"The Globe and Mail","OtherText_Review_8":"With adeptness and sensitivity, Vermette puts a human face to issues that are too-often misunderstood, and in so doing, she has written a book that is both one of the most important of the year and one of the best.\n \nThough Katherena Vermette is not an emerging writer – she has written seven children’s books and won a Governor General’s award for her poetry collection North End Love Songs – for many, this novel will be their first encounter. And it will be a revelation. Vermette is a fully matured literary talent confronting some of our society’s fundamental problems through understated prose that exudes wisdom and emotion. Every page hides beauty amid suffering; love winning out over violence and hate. Stella, at one point in the novel, thinks about “[a] story that didn’t happen to her but that she keeps and remembers.” The Break is like that; it is a story that will stick with you a long time.","OtherText_Review_8_Src":"The National Post","OtherText_Review_9":"In Vermette’s poetic prose, The Break offers a stark portrayal of the adversity that plagues First Nations women in this country — and the strength that helps them survive.","OtherText_Review_9_Src":"The Toronto Star","OtherText_ShortDescription_0":"A stunning debut novel about a multigenerational Métis–Anishnaabe family dealing with the fallout of a shocking crime in Winnipeg’s North End.","PrizeCodeText_0":"Short-listed","PrizeCodeText_1":"Short-listed","PrizeCodeText_2":"Winner","PrizeCodeText_3":"Winner","PrizeCodeText_4":"Winner","PrizeCodeText_5":"Winner","PrizeCodeText_6":"Short-listed","PrizeCode_0":"04","PrizeCode_1":"04","PrizeCode_2":"01","PrizeCode_3":"01","PrizeCode_4":"01","PrizeCode_5":"01","PrizeCode_6":"04","PrizeName_0":"Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize","PrizeName_1":"Governor General's Literary Award","PrizeName_2":"Margaret Laurence Award for Fiction","PrizeName_3":"Carol Shields Winnipeg Book Award","PrizeName_4":"McNally Robinson Book of the Year","PrizeName_5":"Amazon.ca First Novel Award","PrizeName_6":"Burt Award for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Literature","PrizeYear_0":"2016","PrizeYear_1":"2016","PrizeYear_2":"2017","PrizeYear_3":"2017","PrizeYear_4":"2017","PrizeYear_5":"2017","PrizeYear_6":"2017","ProductFormDescription":"trade paperback","PublicationDate":"2016-09-17","Publisher":"House of Anansi Press Inc","ShortDescription":"A stunning debut novel about a multigenerational Métis–Anishnaabe family dealing with the fallout of a shocking crime in Winnipeg’s North End.","teachersguide_0":"https:\/\/biblioshare.org\/BNCservices\/BNCServices.asmx\/Samples?token=fcf85c1c1b298e99\u0026amp;ean=9781487001117\u0026amp;SAN=\u0026amp;Perspective=teachersguide\u0026amp;FileNumber=0","Width":"5.25","WidthCode":"in"}
