Sweetgrass
Jan Hudson
1984
Introduction
Although Jan Hudson's Sweetgrass (1984) is an historical fiction, based on events that took place during the winter of 1837-1838, it is a novel that has contemporary themes. Part love story, part coming-of-age story, and part intergenerational conflict story. Hudson's novel continues in the long tradition of historical fiction aimed at juvenile audiences. Recounting the story of a young girl's struggle for autonomy in a traditional culture that is itself in transition, Sweetgrass is a novel notable, too, for its careful attention to the details of daily life of First Nations women.
