5.0

Where to even begin with this novel!! It’s a story of haunted people, a haunted city, and a time of personal and collective reckoning.

Louise Erdrich is brilliant. Her writing is gorgeous, masterful, and poignant - I just want to love on and squeeze every single one of the characters in this novel. If I hadn’t been in public while finishing this, I would’ve been a mess of tears. 

I haven’t fully processed my thoughts and feelings about the novel yet, but dammit I love it so much. Erdrich is totally becoming one of my favorite authors!
