Erdrich excels in creating narrators with such disparate world views and personalities that there’s a clash between even the alternating chapters they tell. Here, in a novel set in a time when Native Americans were losing their lands in Minnesota, she presents a cast of astonishingly individual characters in a surprisingly brutal story. Her poetic style blends simple realism with explosive episodes that seem to be spun of pure magic.
