A review by read1knit2
The Master Butchers Singing Club, by Louise Erdrich
4.0
I'd only read a short story by Erdrich, before so I went in with some preconceived notions.
Erdrich based this loosely on the life of her grandparents. I read an interview where she did say that it is mostly fiction, however. The story is so complex and the characters so detailed that I found this world completely believable.
I did enjoy the first 2/3 of the book much more than the last 1/3. I think she could have ended it sooner.
Some may find it a bit slow moving, but I enjoyed the details and richness.
Highly recommended!
