TASIMU is a youth who can call down the power of the northern lights to win a rock-throwing contest, but he is also a boy troubled by the mystery surrounding his birth. Others taunt him, claiming that he isn't truly human. Before he can discover the truth, gold is discovered on tribal land, and soldiers from the Empire come north with orders to remove his people from their northern home.
Taste of Memory deals with issues of family breakup, ritual abuse and cultural disintegration as these tribal people are forced to become refugees, stolen away from their ancestral land. But it is also a story where love for one's family and people triumphs over a need for selfish desires and personal power. This is the first book in the Tales of Tasimu series by celebrated author Celu Amberstone. A shorter version of this tale was released as The Dreamer's Legacy by Kegedonce Press in 2012.
Truly an interesting book. It takes a familiar story of the colonization of Indigenous people, and gives it a new and exotic twist. Celu Amberstone has fashioned a truly original take on aboriginal storytelling - it teaches, entertains, and mystifies.
- Drew Hayden Taylor (author of The Night Wanderer: A Native Gothic Novel, Motorcycles and Sweetgrass)
This chronicle of an expulsion and forced migration of a peaceful nation by colonists, set in an alternate world. Narrated by a young boy of the tribe who discovers injustice, and his own filiation. A heartfelt story with a touch of spiritual. (Loosely inspired by the true history of the Cherokee nation, "legally" chased from their ancestral lands.)
Ecrit avant la publication de The Way of Thorn and Thunder de D H justice, me rappelle ce dernier livre pour l'inventivité et l'intrigue qui se déroule sur un monde secondaire. Les deux romans reprennent des thèmes autochtones en fantasy, puisque une première nation locale est chassée de son territoire et un adolescent révolté découvre sa filiation spirituelle.
-Michèle Laframboise (author of Mistress of the Winds)
An original and gripping story. Amberstone transports us to a sad, wild land that is not of our world to tell a heart-warming story from another culture and another time.
- Dave Duncan (author of The Seventh Sword, A Man of His Word, A Handful of Men)
Merges the mythic aboriginal world with the grim realities of cultural disintegration. The Dreamer's Legacy is a compelling read.
