A devastating, hopeful glimpse of a way of life that's slipping away and a people under siege, a reflection on romantic and familial love, and a look at the way faith can twist people. Erdrich is so good at capturing what a moment of huge change feels like by using the little details. These characters feel incredibly vivid and real and Fleur, in particular, is an unforgettable character. A slim book that packs an outsized punch.
