Inspired by her grandfather’s fight against Native dispossession in the 1950s, Louise Erdrich shares a story of resilience in this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. The Turtle Mountain Reservation is home to Thomas, a night watchman at a local factory, and his niece Patrice. A member of the Chippewa Council, Thomas opposes a new bill that, if passed, would end federal recognition of Native American tribes. Patrice, concerned about her sister Vera’s wellbeing, makes a dangerous trip to Minnesota that exposes her to humanity’s darker side. Through their respective struggles, Thomas and Patrice learn important lessons on ambition, courage, and love.
