Indians on Vacation follows husband and wife Bird and Mimi, a First Nations couple, as they travel from Canada to Europe following the discovery of a trove of old postcards from Mimi's late uncle Leroy, who absconded with a valuable family heirloom 100 years earlier but never returned.

This book was laugh-out-loud funny, leavened by King’s sly wit. But as Bird and Mimi traverse Budapest, Prague, and other capitals, encountering refugees and failed political systems, it forced me to think about the political world we have created and what compassion really means.
