it was amazing
bookshelves: favorites

My first novel by Louise Erdrich, and I am absolutely taken by the story that took me to North Dakota and revealed so much about the world that is still a little unknown to me .... It takes a master to write a book that has an intriguing plot, and that opens to a reader gradually. I love this type of narration .... This novel will stay with me for a long time ...

The Beet Queen is on my list now, Tras :)) The Round House is powerful ... and will not leave you indifferent ...

Her books have been translated into Polish, Kathleen, probably not all of them, but she isn't that widely read I guess, which is a shame (I know it now) :):)
