Métis

In his second standalone novel after the award-winning debut Avenue of Champions, published in 2021, Conor Kerr once again presents the lives of Métis people in Edmonton​​, Alberta: his own home town. Of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry with roots dating back to the early years of fur trading on this continent, the Métis are one of three Indigenous groups recognized in Canada’s constitution. Kerr's own Métis background informs his writing: suffusing this novel, like his first, with sensitivity to the experiences and challenges of contemporary Métis living in modern cities.
