A review by hilaryannbrown
Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich

3.0

Hovering between a 3 and 4 on this one. It gave me a lot to think about and I even got teary at the last line. I thought this book would be about the experience of indigenous adoptees who were raised away from their people. It ended up being more about climate change, eugenics, and forced pregnancy. This book takes way too much from The Handmaid's Tale without acknowledging that as its source. If the premise of this book had been that it's a retelling of The Handmaid's Tale that centers indigenous women...I would've bought in to the story more.
