Review:

Blurb:

अपने परिवार की इच्छाओं के विरूद्ध एक नवयुवती ‘सिया’, हाल ही में एल एल. बी. की पढ़ाई में, स्नातक हुई। इस br>चुनौतीपूर्ण कानून के पेशे में, बिना किसी पारिवारिक पृष्ठभूमि के वह, उन विभिन्न अवसरों को तलाशने के लिए निकल पड़ती है, जो यह क्षेत्र उसे प्रतिदिन प्रदान करता है। ‘आपकी सिया एल एल. बी, छह रोचक लघु कथाओं के रूप में लिखित, लेखिका के आँखों देखी, कुछ सच्ची घटनाओं से प्रेरित हैं। इस पुस्तक में, लेखक ने, अपनी मुख्य किरदार ‘सिया’ के माध्यम से, कुछ ऐसी असामान्य व अविस्मरणीय घटनाओं का निष्कपट एवं व्यंग्यात्मक रूप से वर्णण करने का प्रयास किया है, जिनमें कुछ रोमांचक कोर्ट रूम ड्रामा तथा जेल से संबंधित अनुभव भी शामिल हैं। प्रत्येक कहानी भिन्न है परंतु उनमें ‘सिया’,‘कानून’ तथा ‘मानवता’- तीन मूल अंग विद्यमान है। उम्मीद है यह लघु कहानियों का संकलन, उन सब लोगों तक पहुँचे जिन्होंने, ना तो कभी कानून के पेशे के बारे में सुना है और ना ही कभी न्यायालय में प्रवेश किया है। साथ ही, ये उन पाठकों को भी आकर्षित करे, जो पहले से ही इस वैधिक व्यवसाय का हिस्सा हैं। लेखक द्वारा अन्य शीर्षक: “यौर्स लीगली’ (yourslegally)- 2019 ‘बेबी ऑन बोर्ड’ (babyonboard)-2019.

Review:

Blurb:

MEDICINE GAME is a modern-day story set on the fictional Sparrow Lake Nation. It’s a story of Tommy Henry’s life on the Rez. Events from Tommy’s childhood lead him down a path of violent outbursts that trouble him throughout his young life. The very same outbursts he saw from his father Beau.

Tommy finds solace in the friendships he develops with his lacrosse teammates. He finds that the game of lacrosse is where he can go to let out the emotions, he has hidden deep inside him. Unfortunately, Tommy turns to heavy drinking and violence to help forget the issues he had hoped to leave in his past. Tommy’s friends and his love for the game of lacrosse keep him balanced for most of his life, but a time comes when he is forced to deal with his past demons. Beau soon must help his son fight the same battle he faced as a young man.

The people of the Sparrow Lake believe that the game of lacrosse was a gift given to them by the Creator. It was meant to be played with a good mind and strong heart. They believe that when they play the game the Creator smiles and blesses them with good health. That is why lacrosse is known to them as MEDICINE GAME.

This book is recommended to each and every person. I kept on reading till the last page of the book and didn’t want to stop reading. It took me a little long time to read this book but it was worth reading.

My perspective:

Much appreciated work by the author. Hope to see this novel as a movie in future. MEDICINE GAME is an emotional story that brings to light some of the dark issues in Native communities while displaying the comedy that many Native people use to cope with such issues. This is the story of one young man’s healing journey.

Worth reading! Recommended to all.
