A ''brilliant chronicler of the American Indian experience'' (Reader's Digest), Louise Erdrich revisits the beloved and familiar Ojibwe reservation of her North Dakota childhood-illuminating the mythical and magical in the detail of the everyday-in her more than two dozen novels, children's stories, nonfiction works, and poetry collections. Her novels include Love Medicine, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award; The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse; and The Plague of Doves, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Her 2012 novel The Round House won the National Book Award. Erdrich's latest novel tells a tale of natural justice and the reparation of the human heart.
