What a lovely book! The accompanying illustrations by her daughter make the stories even more elegant and moving. Erdrich is a master storyteller, and each of these stories brings us into a carefully crafted world full of grit, poignancy, heartbreak, and resilience. If there’s anyone still out there who hasn’t read Louise Erdrich, this would make a wonderful gift for them– a glorious way to enter her unique world.
