Its mystery and proliferating ghost stories during this one year propel a narrative as rich, emotional, and profound as anything Louise Erdrich has written. The Sentence begins on All Souls' Day 2019 and ends on All Souls' Day 2020. A small independent bookstore in Minneapolis is haunted from November 2019 to November 2020 by the store's most annoying customer. Flora dies on All Souls' Day, but she simply won't leave the store. Tookie, who has landed a job selling books after years of incarceration that she survived by reading "with murderous attention", must solve the mystery of this haunting while at the same time trying to understand all that occurs in Minneapolis during a year of grief, astonishment, isolation, and furious reckoning. Erdrich writes knowledgeably and empathetically about the Native Americans from whom she descends. A story of tragedy and nobility, the book also speaks to redemption. The shifting scenes and the gradual emergence of the drum's meaning demand patience, but it is well-rewarded. Louise Erdrich's latest novel, The Sentence, asks what we owe to the living, the dead, to the reader and to the book. But the work is united by the story of the drum. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this stunning and timely novel, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich creates a wickedly funny ghost story, a tale of passion, of a complex marriage, and of a woman's relentless errors. ![]()
