The Marrow Thieves takes place in a future Canada where climate change has distroyed cities, poisoned waters and made the population move to find a place without destruction. The people most affected are the Indigenous people-they can still dream. Scavengers hunt the Indigenous groups for their bone marrow. The marrow can help white populations recover dreaming. This story follow a young man named Frenchie who has lost his family and joins a group who are moving north. They are hunted, and eventually meet more Indigenous people and perhaps find a means of resistence that originates in their culture. The novel is well written and engrossing. Highly recommended. ( ) I flew through this story. The premise is, yeah, a tad hard to suspend disbelief for, but not if you just go with the embedded metaphor. Too many people have tipped the Earth into disequilibrium: earthquakes, storms, disease, etc. but ALSO white people (and presumably pure blood Chinese, Africans and etc) no longer dream and descend into madness. The only 'cure' is using something found in the marrow of native americans, even half or quarter breed, and so the harvesting begins. The story focuses around a teen, Francis, Frenchie, who is on his own but does find a group to travel north with. North is where, hopefully, they can survive, stop the madness. Frenchie is a great character and so are the people in the group he lands in. Great story. Five stars for the couldn't put down factor.***** aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Avec Pilleurs de rêves, Cherie Dimaline crée un monde dystopique aussi lugubre qu'inquiétant, qui ne nous est pourtant pas complètement étranger. Elle parvient à tisser des liens troublants entre cet univers fictif et le monde dans lequel nous vivons, présentant une allégorie puissante du colonialisme en Amérique du Nord.
