“In her third novel, Tara Gereaux once again mines her home province of Saskatchewan for a rich, character-driven story that wrestles with timely ethical questions. Set in 1946, Wild People Quietfollows Florence, a middle-aged Métis woman living a stable if somewhat solitary middle-class life passing as a white person. Her carefully constructed world begins to crack open when a brother she hasn’t seen in decades arrives in town as a farmhand, forcing her to confront a past—and a heritage—she thought she left behind. The story is exquisitely paced, gradually unfolding Florence’s backstory and the racial animus that drove her choices. Gereaux’s quiet, precise prose evolve into a taut tale about reclamation and belonging, narrated in a dynamic performance by Métis actor Tanis Parenteau.” – Phoebe Neidl, Audible Editor
