Beautifully crafted characters who bring this story to you in three dimensions. When I read it is to travel and meet new people. It's the perfect way to experience the world outside my personal universe. For me it isn't about how things are written. It is about where I'm taken by the story how much fun the journey is.
This book took me to a dusty upper Midwest, Germany and two wars. It covered the years my parents survived and were molded by. Delphine is forever transformed by a world of her own making. She is the ultimate survivor of life's constant obstacles.
I hadn't read any Louise Erdrich in years and am gratefully hearing the butchers ð¤ After a day of very hard work putting food on the tables of the townspeople. This is a tale of a few specific people but it paints situations and individuals and communities brilliantly. Talent to bring an entirely world alive is rare, but when writing in a historical setting it is critical. Current day assumptions must be suspended or the story will be tainted by the reader. Erdrich leaves no room for such mistakes with her rich work.
This is one you don't want to miss.
