Tamai Kobayashi's Prairie Ostrich has been selected by the Amnesty International Book Club for their November read. The poignant tale of the Murakami family's life in 1974 Bittercreek Alberta captured the hearts of readers and critics upon publication. Blending physical, cultural, ancestral, and sexual isolation into an account of one girl’s attempt to find her place against schoolyard battles and the mysteries of the adult world, Prairie Ostrich is an unforgettable read that breaks barriers and expands horizons.
