A review by laural444
Shadow Tag by Louise Erdrich

4.0

The concept of the book is what drew me in, and I was disappointed that the book wasn't totally in diary format. Irene is interesting to me, although I don't really understand her because I can't imagine allowing someone to paint me in degrading and awful ways, although her husband paints her beautifully too. The relationship between Gil and Irene is fascinating and very twisted. The book was difficult to put down, but very different from my usual type. For some reason it reminded me a lot of Anita Shreve with lots of Native American heritage added in.
