A review by houstonkp
The Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich

3.0

I would give this book a higher rating had I not come to the end and immediately felt the need to diagram the relationships of the characters. The novel lacks the depth necessary for the intended intricacy of the relationships and I felt as if I couldn't enjoy the beauty of the writing due to the constraints of Erdich's narrative web. To me, it reads like an unfinished masterpiece -- there are many incredible elements, but the narratives often ended abruptly and were often jarring and distracting.
