A review by carmenere
LaRose by Louise Erdrich
4.0
Like many of her novels, Ms. Erdrich tells a story of Native American culture, traditions and spiritual world.
This novel in particular deals with a tragic death and how a Native American father comes to reconcile the mishap. His young son, LaRose, is at the center of retribution and reconciliation.
I found the novel well constructed however some may find it a bit confusing at first, read on, the names and time periods will soon by understandable.
The characters are well drawn and developed well, as much is learned from past storylines.
The conclusion, in my opinion is sort of lackluster but a well told story nonetheless.
