Keeping all the characters and storyline connections straight can be a challenge, but it is an interesting novel, worth the read.

Not my favorite Erdrich. There was just a lot going on and I couldn't really keep track of how everyone related to each other. But there were a lot of good stories within it, and I think I probably would have enjoyed it more if I'd read it more quickly. I took a lot of breaks and lost track of things.
