LaRose – Louise Erdrich
I am not sure about this one, it was recommended by several people and I liked it, but I am not sure if I would recommend it.
Here is the blurb …
Louise Erdrich, the author of the National Book Award-winning The Round House and the Pulitzer Prize nominee The Plague of Doves wields her breathtaking narrative magic in an emotionally haunting contemporary tale of a tragic accident, a demand for justice, and a profound act of atonement with ancient roots in indigenous culture.
Some bits of it I loved – the social/cultural history of settler/Indian contact, contemporary life on Reservations (the drugs, alcohol and violence, but also the kindness and support). However, I stopped reading found excuses to do something else, which is always a sign that I am not that taken with a novel. It seemed overly long and I found it a struggle to read. Having said all of that, I am glad I finished it.
