This is the first book in Louise Erdrich's Native American series and this copy is a new and expanded edition. I loved this book, the characters are powerfully written, their stories are based on a strong multigenerational culture. If this is your first opportunity to read Louise Erdrich you will finish with a desire to read other books in this series.

Remarkable first novel by one of my favorite authors who has gone on to even greater greatness. This a great, poetic read, sensitively written, with characters you won't soon forget because they are Real.

What a wonderful writer! I enjoyed this book, but have to admit I struggled a bit trying to keep the characters straight in my mind. It could've been the way so many characters were relatives, or their names, or, maybe, I wasn't paying attention; I do have a tendency to read only a few pages at a time each day. I do recommend it, though, especially to those readers with good memories!
