Native Book Discussion: Louise Erdrich (Ojibwe), The Round House: A Novel

One of the most revered novelists of our time – a brilliant chronicler of Native-American life – Louise Erdrich transports readers to Ojibwe territory  in North Dakota. It is an exquisitely told story of a boy on the cusp of manhood who seeks justice. and understanding in the wake of a terrible crime that upends and forever transforms his family. Riveting and suspenseful, this is arguably Erdrich’s most accessible novel. Erdrich’s The Round House is a page-turning masterpiece of literary fiction – at once a powerful coming-of-age story, a mystery, and a tender, moving novel of family, history, and culture.

Each new Erdrich novel adds new layers of pathos and comedy, earthiness and spiritual questing, to her priceless multigenerational drama. The Round House is one of her best — concentrated, suspenseful, and morally profound.” — Jane Ciabattari, Boston Globe
