"Wonderful...hopeful, wrenching, funny, sexy, intense, and penetratingly true."--Pam Houston, "Los Angeles Times Book Review"
Louise Erdrich, a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, is the award-winning author of many novels as well as volumes of poetry, children's books, and a memoir of early motherhood. Erdrich lives in Minnesota with her daughters and is the owner of Birchbark Books, a small independent bookstore.
"Beautiful. . . . Shows us a place where love, fate and chance are woven together like a braid, a world where daily life is enriched by a powerful spiritual presence." -- New York Times Book Review
"Erdrich is a masterful storyteller . . . [Her] imagination is sacred and sacrilegious at once; the deepest feeling and wisdom leap out like fireworks from the most hilarious, or blasphemous, scenes." -- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
"Wonderful...hopeful, wrenching, funny, sexy, intense, and penetratingly true." -- Pam Houston, Los Angeles Times Book Review
