Summary:
"After learning that his great-uncle Alfred has suffered a stroke, Richard sets out to tell his father. Waylaid by memories of his stalled romance, stories of run-ins with Mennonites, floods, working a honey wagon, struck by visions of Métis history, and embracing his heritage, Richard confronts his desire to leave town as he searches through Ste. Anne and Southeastern Manitoba. Evoking an oral storytelling epic that weaves together one family's complex history, Hold Your Tongue asks what it means to be Métis and francophone. Recalling the work of Katherena Vermette and Joshua Whitehead, Matthew Tétreault's debut novel shines with a poignant, but playful character-driven meditation on the struggles of holding onto "la langue," and marks the emergence of an important new voice."--Provided by publisher.
