Helpful Score: 3
Louise Erdrich's Love Medicine is a slap-in-your-face dose of reservation reality. She does not sugar coat anything. Yet, despite having a lot of graphic or disturbing passages (such as the psychology of June's rendezvous with a trucker and falling out of the seat butt-naked into the snow) it is almost eloquently written. The message? Some mix of holding onto pride and hope with no chance of success. Overall a great, eye-opening book.
Originall read for a college class and disliked it due to content. Or, rather, I disliked it because it knocked my sensibilities. But don't we all need that now and then?
A good read for adults, college level and up.
