The cast of characters is diverse ? Black, female, Indigenous, and people with all sorts of physical and mental challenges ? and their experiences, gleaned from diaries, letters, service records, genealogical research, and interviews with descendants, are surprising and illuminating. An unusual mix of history and story, The Roosting Box offers deeply personal perspectives on healing in the aftermath of war.…
