It was a slow start and never full pulled me in. I liked the historical backdrop.

I have never liked a story less.

I have read or listened to almost every one of Lousie Erdrich's novels and have enjoyed and/or been moved by all of them. They have have difficult but honest themes and characters, but they draw you in and open your heart and mind to different perspectives and ideas. They give you insights into humanity. There is not one character in this book who is not an awful human being. Some have small moments of doing decent things, but there is nothing to be gained or learned from reading this book. Even a newborn arrives full of darkness and all of the children are just horrible. I feel bad that this was my experience, but I hated this book.

I cannot phantom spending time creating all of these awful people who seem committed only to becoming more and more awful as the story goes on. None of them ever choose to learn, to grow, to do better, to try and have compassion or empathy let alone any redemption.

I will continue to read her new works, but I cannot recommend this one.

Great story, lots of twists and turns. Lou’s journalism is top notch and leaves no questions un answered.
