For more than a half century, Father Damien Modeste has served his beloved people, the Ojibwe, on the remote reservation of Little No Horse. Now, nearing the end of his life, Father Damien dreads the discovery of his physical identity, for he is a woman who has lived as a man. To complicate his fears, his quiet life changes when a troubled colleague comes to the reservation to investigate the life of the perplexing, difficult, possibly false saint Sister Leopolda.

Fantastic Storytelling,Enthralling
Revisado: 07-29-23
In this day and age, a great story about a dual gender character. Wonderful list of authentic characters on a genuine reservation in the early part of 1900.Ms Erdrich is a fantastic weaver of history and storyline in a form of a tale that will stay with you for a long time.
Should be a movie.
Read all of the reviews, nobody gets this many thumbs up as Ms Erdrich!

An astonishing tip from a grateful ex-convict seems implausible - but Inspector Ian Rutledge is intrigued and brings it to his superior at Scotland Yard. Alan Barrington, who has evaded capture for 10 years, is the suspect in an appalling murder during Black Ascot, the famous 1910 royal horse race honoring the late King Edward VII. His disappearance began a manhunt that consumed Britain for a decade. Now, it appears that Barrington has returned to England, giving the Yard a last chance to retrieve its reputation and see justice done.

Too many characters, I kept playing back sections where the characters were introduced.
Revisado: 02-28-23
I needed to keep a journal of all the characters to keep my sanity! Understandably a good detective story by a famously well read author
But it took a lot of reviewing to keep up. Having said that, my ignorance may have been helped if the characters had been represented by different voices. The audio seem to be very monotone, although I liked his voice. it seemed even a times that the. Person doing the audio for the main character took breaks in between, and they were different pitches in the way he delivered the story. A little distressing, but a good story all in all.

While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, many of us simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress.

Revisado: 02-01-23
Any author that uses this phrase as a pronoun, should not be writing a book. Having said that, there were some useful tools she presented and that I probably will use but I found in general, this was not a helpful book. Maybe I didn't need to declutter as much as some people and there in lies my disalutionment. I cannot recommend this book to anyone who needs a light hand in dissolving minor clutter.. I can recommend it to those that need to get informed on out of date foods and baby clutter. I will use some of it but for the most part I found it a waste of time. Honestly, it as my first self help book and it was disappointing.

When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. After working with the best-selling crime writer for years, she's intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan's traditional formula has proved hugely successful.

Another great story by Anthony Horowitz. The performers told the story with conviction!
Now I see PBS and Masterpiece Theater have taken it on but can't nearly promote the wonderful Atticus Pudnt
or the wonderful tale this book presents! A must read for mystery lovers!

Great long Epic tale told by a very convincing voice.This story puts you at the end of th last century and brings you to 1919 in the heart of the old west in Texas,Nw Mexico and Arizona. Perfectly describes the landscape and accurately described ranching life.
Id love to read the story again and again and hope for a continuation by the author.
The reading performance was superb.

Captivating story set in the amazingly beautiful Lake Powell Arizona area. But the storyline was easy to guess and the Texas and midwestern accents were disturbing. The Native tongue references were a plus and it was easy to get lost in the descriptions of the landscape.

For the past 12 years, adults called "Freds" have raised Rosi, her younger brother Bobo, and the other children of their town, saying it is too dangerous for them to stay with their parents - but now they are all being sent back. Since Rosi is the oldest, all the younger kids are looking to her with questions she doesn't have the answers to. She'd always trusted the Freds completely, but now she's not so sure. And their home is nothing like she'd expected, like nothing the Freds had prepared them for.

One Sunday in the spring of 1988, a woman living on a reservation in North Dakota is attacked.

In one day, Joe's life is irrevocably transformed. He tries to heal his mother, but she will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Increasingly alone, Joe finds himself thrust prematurely into an adult world for which he is ill prepared.
