Istina i sjajna voda

Thomas King

Thomas King, podrijetlom dijelom Cherokee, dijelom Grk, u ovom romanu gradi radnju kroz priču dječaka Tecumseha koji sa svojim rođakom Lumom i psom Vojnikom u ljetnim danima uobičajeno prolazi jednim rezervatom, između gradova Istine i Sjajne Vode.

Radnju pokreće misterij jednog događaja na rijeci, kada su vidjeli potapanje žene kojoj nisu mogli pomoći. Usto, Tecumseh nastoji otkriti obiteljske tajne te izmiriti svoje roditelje. Priča nosi mnoge romantične ali i baladične epizode. Roman prepun dijaloga, čudesnih događanja, crnog humora i živih istina, zamamno je i sočno štivo. Prevoditelji su pohrvatili sva imena u romanu, što će još više približiti čitatelju svijet domorodaca i dalekih prostora Kanade.
