...Mosionier’s 1983 novel In Search of April Raintree which is entitled “The Only Dirty Book: the Rape of April Raintree,” makes the observation that anonymous surveys of students regarding the books that they regard as influential in their lives consistently list this novel near the top of such lists (Suzack 2). This observations gives rise to the question of why this should be true. What factors in its aesthetics and style contribute to an emotional appeal that appears to be equally strong for both adolescents and adults, regardless of whether they are Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal? The following examination of this classic novel considers this question and its characteristics. This examination shows that the novel’s appeal lies in the author’s narrative style, but also in the novel’s relevancy, as it brings together aspects of Canadian history and politics in a manner that is compelling and fascinating for readers interested in Canadian history, Aboriginal politics, and the treatment of women within Canadian society.
