From the lore of her people , the Sioux, Susan Power has forged a remarkable novel, rich with drama and infused with the magic of the everyday. Set on a North Dakota reservation, The Grass Dancer weaves the stories of the old and the young, of broken families, romantic rivals, men and women in love and war. Reaveling the harsh proce of unfulfilled longings and the healing power of mystery and hope , it takes the readers through both past and present -in a tale as a reasonant and haunting as an ancestor's memory , and as promising as a child's dream .
