Description
Debra Magpie Earling's powerful novel Perma Red is set against the backdrop of western Montana in the 1940s. Against this harsh landscape, Louise White Elk navigates her path towards independence and a better future for herself and her family. Louise faces three men with different intentions: Baptiste Yellow Knife, whose rough-and-tumble ways are matched by his supernatural gifts; Charlie Kicking Woman, torn between duty and fascination; and Harvey Stoner, a white real estate mogul who can offer Louise freedom at a steep cost. As tensions rise, Louise must confront the choices that will alter her life forever. As winter closes in, Louise finds herself caught between the bitter clutches of nature and the powerful men who seek to control her destiny.
