“Small Ceremonies is an evocative portrayal of Indigenous urban existence framed around North End Winnipeg. In his fearless debut novel, Kyle Edwards gives us a gutting and luminous portrait of community and timeless interconnection, revealing the true meaning of Indigenous resiliency and elbows up. An encompassing story that feels both fresh and classic at the same time.”
