Description
A woman living on a reservation in North Dakota is attacked, leaving her traumatized and reluctant to relive the event. Her 13-year-old son, Joe, tries to heal his mother but she becomes increasingly withdrawn. As Joe navigates this difficult situation, he finds himself thrust into an adult world without preparation. Joe's quest for answers takes him to the Round House, a sacred space in the Ojibwe community. There, he joins forces with friends Cappy, Zack, and Angus to uncover the truth behind his mother's attack. As they delve deeper, they confront harsh realities about life in their community where Ojibwe and white cultures intersect. This powerful novel by Louise Erdrich explores tragedy, injustice, and the complexities of contemporary life through its well-crafted characters and narrative.
