Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich

5.0

I think I might actually give this one 5 stars, it was that good and moving. I am a big fan of multi-generational stories and stories told from multiple character view points. This book has both and just so happens to also be beautifully written. It has the perfect touch of sadness, a very human despair (much different from the over the top, depressing just for the sake of it Oprah books), but it is not without some joy. "The Red Convertible" broke my heart and I really enjoyed Lipsha's chapters, especially "Love Medicine". I have read one of Erdrich's novels before, but this was my first of her Native American fiction and it will not be my last.
