This book was assigned in one of my classes. While it was interesting and informative, I found Pauline's point of view to be extremely off-putting and downright uncomfortable to read at some points. I did like Nanapush's point of view. He was an interesting character.

I understand why Erdrich layered the chapters by point of view and I respect her choice, but I don't think I would have read this book if given the choice.

It goes without saying that I won't be reading this again.

I didn't realize this was not the first book. I will be coming back to it later!

While the story is intriguing and intricate, the structure is confusing and hard to follow. Not one you can fully grasp without multiple readings- though, I’m not sure I’m intrigued enough to try again. I’m interested in reading criticisms surrounding it and seeing what others have taken from this work.
