Michel Jean erzählt in Kukum die Geschichte seiner Urgroßmutter Almanda Siméon, die 97 wurde. Als Waise von ihrer Tante und ihrem Onkel aufgezogen, lernt sie mit fünfzehn den jungen Innu Thomas Siméon kennen, verliebt sich trotz der kulturellen Unterschiede sofort in ihn, sie heiraten, und Almanda lebt von da an mit dem Nomadenstamm, dem er angehört, lernt seine Sprache, übernimmt die Riten und Gebräuche der Innu von Pekuakami und überwindet so die Barrieren, die den indigenen Frauen aufgezwungen werden. Anhand des Schicksals dieser starken, freiheitsliebenden Frau beschreibt Michel Jean auch das Ende der traditionellen Lebensweise der Nomadenvölker im Nordosten Amerikas, deren Umwelt zerstört wurde und die zur Sesshaftigkeit gezwungen und in Reservate gesperrt wurden, ohne Zukunftsperspektive, ein Leben geprägt von Gewalt, Alkohol und Drogenkonsum. Der Roman wurde im Herbst 2020 mit dem Prix littéraire France-Québec ausgezeichnet. "Ich spüre in mir die Verantwortung, unsere Geschichten zu erzählen, die der Innu und der Mitglieder der Ersten Völker. Denn sie kommen praktisch nirgends vor. In den Geschichtsbüchern nehmen sie nur wenig Raum ein. In Nordamerika beginnt die Geschichte mit der Ankunft von Christoph Kolumbus 1492, diejenige Kanadas mit Jacques Cartier 1534. Aber wir leben hier seit 15 000 Jahren. Wenn wir unsere Geschichten nicht erzählen, wer dann?"

Quality shoe but with a slight squeak.
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Nice shoes with the classic Penny Loafer design. Fit was better than another brand I tried. Only reason not 5 starts is disappointment due to a slight squeak at times when walking.

Exact item ordered, quick delivery
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
I ordered these black Cole Haan penny loafers for casual wear with jeans, khakies, and even business casual with slacks and a jacket. They've always worked perfectly for these uses. The Cole Haan version is the most versatile and still meets my sophisticated look criteria. I wear a 9 1/2 M with almost all other shoes. I have found Cole Haan to run slightly wider and slightly shorter. This fit will work with thin and no socks and a little loose in width. . I'd likely order a 10 N next time. I tend to forget this but it runs consistent with me for Cole Haan. 5 stars for the shoe and service. My bad on the slightly off fit.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect. Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.

Really nice shoes
Size: 9, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
My husband enjoys wearing these shoes. Very classy looking. They fit well. They arrived quickly. He liked them so much he ordered another pair in a different color which have worked out just as well.
