Although at first glance the story might seem a little unbelievable (four exwives are stranded in a blizzard after attending the funeral of their ex-husband who turns out not to be dead)the plot device works quite well because Louise Erdrich is such a masterful writer. Her characters make the book come to life because of their defects and flaws but most of all because of their passions and vulnerabilities that lie at the heart of each of the tales of burning love they tell each other to keep from freezing to death.
