A review by raymond_murphy
Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich
3.0
Apparently a lot of people think this is book is derivative of the Handmaid’s Tale. I guess that makes sense if you don’t think that most dystopian events (like the one we are living in) don’t provide an excuse to accelerate the subjugation of women and people of color.
The characters’ initial inability to see how the events they were living through were leading toward something really bad felt very realistic to me.
Particularly the notion that Cedar was more worried about her birth story than the end of the world made perfect sense to me in the context of my own experiences around adoption.
Not perfect (come on Glen, really?) but well worth the time spent together.
