Shaking Tent by Anne Michael, is a historical fiction based on true events, mysticism and culture including the actual, emotional, gut-wrenching apologies of the Pope, the Government of Canada and many other religious faiths. The reader wants to do something, anything to find reconciliation while journeying through the novel. It will make your cry, make you mad and make your heart swell with pride. The novel was first inspired by a personal photograph of a double-mouthed fish, taken by the author while attending a wedding in Port Washington, Wisconsin in 1979; and further motivated by an event in 2016, when half a billion fish went belly up in the waters around Chicago causing significant inquires. The story begins in a courtroom in Chicago, Illinois, continues to a courtroom amidst the oil sands of Fort McMurray Alberta, Canada, on to an actual mansion in Illinois belonging to an Indian princess and then to a wing in a Chicago hospital. Once you begin reading, the story is a page turner introducing surprising elements making you laugh, cry, angering you, yet; making your heart swell with pride beyond imagination. Truth is stranger than fiction. Every person should take the responsibility to pass this story through the generations of their family. The main characters, Bexley Hargrove, Obigon, Snowbird and Maude Weidner mirror the efforts of the Erin Brockovich and Sherlock Holmes searching for reconciliation for culture and environment. Two worlds collide in the mindset of the First Nation's culture, the little people roaming through strange hoodoos, fairies living in trees, heartache, a budding love story, and intense family loyalty. Bexley Hargrove, a successful corporate lawyer at a prestigious law firm in Chicago, teams up with a Canadian law firm fighting for the rights of a twelve year old great-granddaughter, whose life is in limbo after her parent's death. The one-hundred-year old great-grandfather's claim to her guardianship is questioned after he contracts a rare cancer. Unexpected family reunions unveil deep secrets, harbored for nearly a century, as the lives of these people become entrenched in the largest class action lawsuit ever awarded in Canada: IRRSA, while a second lawsuit is underway.
