A prize winning collection of linked short stories centered on several generations of an extended Ojibwe family. Mostly set in 1900's Minnesota. Trigger warning for some harrowing accounts of boarding school settings.

This collection of linked short stories is barely 150 pages but the author wastes no words and at the end I had a picture of four generations in an Ojibwe family from northern Minnesota. Comparisons to Louise Erdrich are inevitable but Linda LeGarde Grover's style, while equally poetic, is less epic verse and more sonnet: brief and powerful. History, politics, family dynamics, and community loyalty are themes throughout these eight stories. Highly recommended.

The fractured narrative is hard to follow at times, but I don't think that the book could have been written any other way. I don't know what else to say about it other than it did what good fiction should do, let you get to know a world you didn't before.
