emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

As I read this book I became more and more delighted. I picked it up because the idea of reading something set in 2020 was intriguing, and Erdrich just added layer after layer to the cake. First there’s Tookie’s backstory and the themes of grave robbery it hughlights. Then there’s the haunting- chilling yet casually nestled in a real bookstore in Minneapolis. Tookie and Hetta’s beautiful relationship, bookstore antics and details, Louise’s appearance sin her own book all pile until the lockdown actually starts and you remember that there’s this while other huge layer if intensity about to descend on Minneapolis. It was cathartic and beautiful and very, very probing.
