A review by sjklass
The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich

3.0

This probably deserves a higher rating but I’ve had a difficult time focussing on my reading of late....hmmmm, wonder why?! Like many Erdrich novels, there are a lot of characters. I loved and rooted for Patrice/Pixie, especially on her trip to Minneapolis and Thomas, the Night Watchman, is such a very honourable man. I wanted more of Zhannat. No spoilers, but there were sections that needed expanding and others that seemed to not move the plot forward. Perhaps the kind of novel that benefits from reading in big chunks, several hours at a time. The author’s afterward is well worth reading to add real life context to the novel. Good but not memorable for me.
