Product Description:

The Antelope Wife extends the branches of the families who populate Louise Erdrich's earlier novels, and once again, her unsentimental, unsparing writing captures the Native American sense of despair, magic, and humor. Rooted in myth and set in contemporary Minneapolis, this poetic and haunting story spans a century, at the center of which is a mysterious and graceful woman known as the Antelope Wife. Elusive, silent, and bearing a mystical link to nature, she embodies a complicated quest for love and survival that impacts lives in unpredictable ways. Her tale is an unpredictable ways. Her tale is an unforgettable tapestry of ancestry, fate, harrowing tragedy, and redemption, that seems at once modern and eternal.

Received in the mail. Thank you for sending it. Facinating author usually.

This was a wonderful, intense book. Her writing is so amazing. Another multi latered story from this author.

Mailed to spikesmom as part of a relay

Woah. Our cover is MUCH cooler, gang...

The book is safely here and off to Mt. TBR for now until I can catch up...

Thanks, Chomper! And the postcard's cool, too! :D

Reserved so I can RABCK it to a friend...

This was too dark for me... all these people doing really despicable things, so I couldn't stick with it. Which is really unusual for me with an Erdrich book...

Another to add to the pile of Erdrich books. That woman's writing blows me away.

Thank you, WestofMars, for gifts that have made my BookCrossing day!
