All of Louise Erdrich books are lyrically beautiful. This was no exception. The life of Ojibwa children at the point in their history where everything is changing for the people is both interesting and heart wrenching and no one writes it better. I loved all the details about the life, the games, the councils, and the structure of the people - how they came to decisions, how they taught their children to be adults, how they coped with joy and tragedy.

Another great book from a brilliant, beautiful author. I haven't been disappointed yet. In fact each new book surprises me.
