Review:

"I'm still not strictly rational.  How could I be?  I sell books."  What a fantastic few sentences for an author to write and attribute to her lead character.  Erdrich builds a very believable suite of characters and provides a window on their lives.  Nothing really starts or ends cleanly in the book.  That is OK, there is no real moral to be had, no greater lesson.  This is a book about struggle in self-owned adversity.  I enjoyed it and appreciated the angle of the American Indian response to George Floyd.
