An interesting book on life on the "Rez" and how the people relate to one another. It is amazing how the author pictures the life of native Americans in Minnesota. Well worth reading.
Lyrical writing and a strong sense of place can't save this novel, which leaps from narrator to narrator back and forward through a span of years as it tells the intertwined story of a tiny community on the Chippewa Reservation of northern Minnesota.
Relationships are complex, with "family" defined more by emotional ties than genetic ones, and multiple vignettes flash by in search of a plot.
