Book description:
Bantam edition, 1987.
By the author of The Master Butchers Singing Club and The Beet Queen.
A "multigenerational saga of two extended families who live on and around a Chippewa reservation in North Dakota. Each chapter is narrated in a memorable voice like the one of Lipsha Morrissey, a young man who is believed to have "the touch," with which he attempts to bring his wandering grandfather back to his long-suffering grandmother with a love medicine made from goose hearts. By placing us right inside the heads of her remarkable characters, Erdrich allows us to feel the despair that insensitive government policies, poverty, and alcoholism have brought them...."Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction.

Couldn't resist the description of this new-to-me, older book. And I really liked Master Butchers' Singing Club by the same author.
Thanks for your book relay, discomicky!
Thanks for your book relay, discomicky!
Beautifully, powerfully written - raw emotion and life circumstances - with strong themes of survival and hope.
That said, it felt a bit distressing to finish reading right now, so I'm sending it on to BC friend palomaranch!

I recently enjoyed Erdrich's "The Beet Queen" so I'm looking forward to reading more of her work. Thanks so much, J!
