A review by pine_wulf
The Antelope Wife by Louise Erdrich

emotional

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

3.5

The writing is lyrical and beautiful and there were some really emotional scenes. There isn't really an ongoing plot. It's more a character study. Life scenes spanned over several years. It's not really my type of thing, but the writing itself made up for it. And I was a little teary over what happened to Deanna. 

I thought the actual "antelope wife" would have a bigger role considering the back summary says she's at the center, but she felt like a background character to me.
