Book Review of The Master Butchers Singing Club

The Master Butchers Singing Club
reviewed on + 55 more book reviews


Very absorbing story with characters to care about. Erdrich is so complete in her characterzations, her descriptions of places, events, people, relationships. Her prose is so lyrical. It's one of those I will probably read again someday. I agree with reviewers who say it's "Emotionally powerful, richly detailed..." "...poignant in the mysteries it evokes..." and "Intimate and epic, tender and violent..." (from Minneapolis Star Tribune, L.A Times Book Review & People.)
