Resumen del Editor

“A remarkable and luminous novel.” —Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

Louise Erdrich, the bestselling and award-winning author of The Sentence and The Night Watchman, dazzles in this vibrant and heartfelt tale of abandonment and sexual obsession, jealousy and unstinting love that explores with empathy, humor, and power the eternal mystery of the human condition.

On a spring morning in 1932, young Karl and Mary Adare arrive by boxcar in Argus, North Dakota. After being orphaned in a most peculiar way, Mary seeks refuge in the butcher shop of their aunt and her husband, while Karl gets back on the train. So begins an exhilarating forty-year saga brimming with colorful, unforgettable characters: ordinary Mary, who will cause a miracle; seductive Karl, who lacks his sister's gift for survival; Sita, their lovely but disturbed cousin; and the half-Native American Celestine James, who will become Mary’s best friend. Theirs is a story grounded in the tenacity of relationships, the extraordinary magic of natural events, and the unending mystery of the human condition.

Disappointed

I've been a big fan of Louise Erdrich and was looking forward to this book. I expected to love it and was puzzled when I didn't. The characters just weren't that interesting--nor were there any that made me want to root for them--and the story was bland in comparison with her earlier works. The narration was fine, but it wasn't enough to overcome the fact that I just didn't care about the characters or what might happen next.

For fans of Erdrich

Another series of characters developed here on the periphery of some of the major characters that feature in her other books, some of whom appear on the sidelines of this book.

A listen to look forward to

It’s such a luxury when the story and the narration come together so beautifully. And to have a story that at once seems real and also compelling is irresistible. I enjoyed this book and made time to listen, then was swept away.

I think you’ll e joy it.

A bummer of a listen

I kept going, hoping for things to get better. They didn’t. Never found any humor or redeeming qualities.
