A review by laneamagya
The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse by Louise Erdrich

4.0

I'm really falling in love with Erdrich's writing. This novel made Erdrich a finalist for the National Book Award. I'm a bit surprised she didn't win it. Like many of Erdrich's novels, this one is set on an Ojibwe reservation. The main character is a priest with a mammoth of a secret, who is being interviewed about the possible canonization of a recently deceased nun who figures in other novels in the series. The novel tracks the priest's life, his role in the local community, his life before the priest-hood--it's good stuff. I'm hesitant to reveal much, of course, because I love the unfolding of a story I know nothing about, so I assume others do too. Most reviews give the priest's secret away, as does the back cover of the book. But I think you should ignore all that, and just start at the start.
