3.5The taste of anger is bitter on my tongue, the sadness burrowed deep in my heart, and the images my mind can clearly picture will probably stay with me for a long time. This is not an easy story to read, at least it wasn't for me.
Orca is a man who's been to hell, even though not treated as an actual citizen with any rights, he has to go to war for his country. There in the midst of suffering and destruction the rest of his team become his family, his brothers-their race doesn't matter. When he finally makes it home, he thinks it's to finally devote himself to his son, only to discover that the government is closing down his child's school and want to send all the children to a boarding school. Orca has already known the pain of seeing what boarding school did to his father, and is prepared to fight to keep his child Rabbit from being dragged away and stripped of who he is. Then a letter arrives informing him of the passing of one of his brothers and he leaves to attend the funeral, there he reconnects with the rest of his team members and Jona-his team leader and a man that makes him want, want so badly that it both surprises and scares him.
Orca learns that Jona is running from prejudice and is without a home, so Orca takes him to his. Life appears to gain some semblance of normalcy that is quickly shattered when one day he goes to pick up his boy only to discover that Fawn-his boy's mother has turned him over to the BIA, to be placed in a boarding school. Orca and Jona set out to find Rabbit and bring him home.
This is a story of a soldier who doesn't know why he has to kill people that never hurt him, a father that only wants to love and nurture his son, a man who finds love unexpectedly with another man, and the child within him that only yearns for his Father's love and acceptance. Poignant and heart wrenching this story portrays the worst side of humanity and the devastating results of hatred and prejudice. While the relationship between Orca and Jona is really beautiful and Orca's bond with Rabbit is so warm and lovely don't expect a perfect and conventional ending.

For the first time in my life, I am truly ashamed of the human race. We are dreadful. We deserve to die. God, I hope we die. History textbooks need to be replaced with Rose Christo novels. We need to know her side of the story the real one. Let me tell you, I never liked war games/movies/novels, I couldnt explain why. If I had known, that a Cree soldier was going to narrate his life during-after the bombing of Hiroshima, I would have never read it. Thank God I have. Every time I read M/Mhumans do not deserve this planet. oh, how we hate each other for what we do not want to understand or respect. someone's gender. or their color. or who they choose to love. hate built on top of "our" perceived superiority. we keep inventing reasons and creeds and religions and beliefs to fuel that hate. we, who are complicit in the crimes that are committed in our name by acquiescence and indifference, keep betraying of our suffering kin by our silence.
I don't really know what to say. It reminds me of a train wreck or an airplane crash. Something huge that kills a ton of people while you are on the sideline watching, unable to year your eyes away. Rose Christos's books are a train wreck that I can't keep myself from. I want to tell myself that it is fiction, and it is, and yet it is based on a reality so cruel.3.5The taste of anger is bitter on my tongue, the sadness burrowed deep in my heart, and the images my mind can clearly picture will probably stay with me for a long time.

I've come to the conclusion that every book by Rose Christo will make me cry.This book made me feel a mixture of emotions. Every page was meaningful, and the characters were filled with so much (as per usual in Christo's books) and each character had depth which was explored.
Really enjoyed the change of pace that was the WWII-setting. As always beautifully written.
I don't know what to say about this book. It was beautiful. It was terrible.Rose Christo is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors. Even though the writing isn't phenomenal (I like it this way, but I know some people who find it too simple), the stories are always so beautiful, and heartwrenching. White Whale, like all the books by Rose Christo, isn't just about the love story that's in it. Of course, the love story is a part of it. But the main point is always to show the historical
