"Love Medicine is a remarkable first novel that states more boldly at many of the truths of Native American life in this country than any fiction I've read...It is a deeply if ironically spiritual novel." Chicag Sun-Times....."Vibrant with mystery, music and magic, this moving saga of two Native American families--the Kashpaws and the Lamartines--reaches out from the printed page with an authenticity and emotion rarely matched in contemporary fiction. From the powerful opening scene..high spirited, Hard drinking June Kashpaw's death in the snow of a North Dakota reservation, this story springs to raging life: a multigenerational portrait of new truths and secrets whose time has come, of those who left the Indian land and those who stayed behind, of strong men and women caught in an unforgettable drams of anger, desire, and the healing power called Love Medicine." Great read.
