Read because after THE ROUND HOUSE I wanted more Erdrich. This did not disappoint, with the bonus of an interesting examination of gender.

Like several stories in one, but still holds together well.

I always enjoy Erdrich's books - they take me to a place I really am ignorant of - life on a reservation. Each one of her books pushes me to learn more about the history of Native Americans. That added spark of learning more is just one of the reasons I enjoy her books. They are well written, creative, characters are fully developed and never the same. This book tracks the life of Agnes/Damien. Without giving anything away, not all is at it seems - not just for the narrator, but several other characters. Life on a reservation for a priest, the nuns and others just isn't always as it seems. The multi-layered relationships, beliefs and lives that an individual leads is what makes life interesting.
In addition to Agnes/Damien we meet a host of characters who help define friendship, loyalty, honesty, trickery, etc.
I would recommend this book, as well as any other of her books.

I didn't find the story interesting enough to keep me engaged. Luckily, the prose moves quickly so it was easy to get through the book, but the overall plot just wasn't that interesting.

Couldn't stand it. Felt guilt for a time. Now I just accept it.

What is the whole of our existence but the sound of an appalling love?”
Beautiful, tragic and funny. The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse is full of complex characters that felt so real to me, in a place that felt equally real. I can’t wait to read other novels in the Love Medicine series.

Spectacular. Luminous. Get lost in it! It was almost too exquisite to bear at first....but then I got used to it. Oh my.
