A review by kiramke
The Painted Drum by Louise Erdrich

4.0

Erdrich is excellent, so clear and so subtle. I have a hard time seeing her books without looking at the whole, even though I did enjoy some volumes more than others; because they each give a new perspective on pieces of the others. It's such a great way to remind me that there's always more I don't know. This part of the story is a reflection on loss and healing, without the ponderousness that usually implies.
