The character work and relationships in this book are stunning. I had trouble following all of the different dynamics at play, but I think that’s just cause I was reading too quickly.
Was it really necessary to use the n-word in that one passage? Cause yikes.
Definitely glad to have finally read something by Louise Erdrich, and I will be checking out more of her work!
