Antelope Woman by Louise Erdrich

2.0

This book was magic realism to 11. Half the time, I had no idea what was going on and quite honestly, it was too weird. I think if things were explained better, than maybe I would have enjoyed the weirdness. But it wasn't explained. In fact, once things were happening, we get moved into another weird part of the story, like a tangent and then some weird stuff happens. When the story followed an actual story for a time period, I was in the story and wanting to know more. But it didn't always last. I couldn't invest in the characters, but I tried. I didn't really like any of them, especially Klaus and Richard. And I'm still trying to understand why Klaus kidnapped Calico Sweetheart in the first place.

I will say the author writes beautifully; I just wished there was a smoother transition between the stories. Although I loved the dog's point of view on survival, I just didn't get it nor did I understand his death and return to life and whatever that was.

At least it had a clear ending.
