Born in the 2nd of July in 1975, Cherie Dimaline grew up in the Georgian Bay of Canada and Métis Nation, with the Métis being her heritage. This would come to inform a lot of her career and output, as it would inspire much of her writing, as she’d continue to develop as an author, moving to Ontario, and Toronto. Spending many of her childhood summers learning about her own roots, she’d return to the Métis Nation, immersing herself heavily in the stories and folklore of her culture.

Growing up she’d also help her father, a magician, working as his assistant, before going on to undertake a variety of different jobs, from museum to curator, to investment manager, along with women’s resource center director. She has worked on various other projects as well, including different community based operations, working in numerous different capacities. Still writing to this day, she’s also working on adapting her work for television, with ‘The Marrow Thieves’ being transferred to the screen.

A writer in residence for the Toronto Public Library, she continues to write, with a lot more planned on the horizon.

This was initially published on the 6th of June in 2013, and it would come out to much acclaim, showing Dimaline writing her first full novel. Whilst Dimaline had written a shorter fiction collection before, with ‘Red Rooms’ in 2011, this would be her first complete novel. From this she would be heralded as a writer to watch, with it coming out through the ‘Theytus Books’ publishing imprint.

There’s a lot going on in this novel, with plenty of deeper psychological themes and ideas at play throughout the story.

Can she finally find peace and happiness? What will become of the girl who grew a galaxy?

Taking the story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ into a whole new age, it’s an inspired story with a lot to offer the reader.

Many of the passages here are so haunting, leaving such a strong imprint, that it’s not a story that’s quickly forgotten. Featuring some elements of fantasy too, it’s an interesting take on the fairy tale formula, making a powerful impression on the the reader. There are constant surprises on every page, with it being a true masterclass in storytelling, as it brings its vivid world powerfully to life.
