This is the first of Erdrich's novels about American Indians and my goodness it's an eye-opener. I got confused by her way of jumping from character to character and generation to generation, but it didn't matter, building up like a wonderful, colourful patchwork quilt. Hopes, fears, loves, deaths, traditions in a disgracefully marginalised but steadfastly resiliant community. Highly recommended.
