Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"The beauty of Love Medicine saves us from being completely devastated by its power." -- Toni Morrison
Set on a North Dakota Ojibwe reservation, Love Medicine--the first novel from master storyteller and National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich--is an epic story about the intertwined fates of two families: the Kashpaws and the Lamartines.
With astonishing virtuosity, each chapter of this stunning novel draws on a range of voices to limn its tales. Black humor mingles with magic, injustice bleeds into betrayal, and through it all, bonds of love and family marry the elements into a tightly woven whole that pulses with the drama of life.
Erdrich has written a multigenerational portrait of strong men and women caught in an unforgettable whirlwind of anger, desire, and the healing power that is love medicine.
"P.S., insights, interviews & more"--Cover.
"I have worked over a few small sections that were added in 1995, but the biggest change is this: I have deleted one of the chapters ("Lyman's Luck") added in the 1995 expanded edition, and moved another ("The Tomahawk Factory") to the P.S. section at the back of the book"--2009 Author's note, p. 5 (second sequence).
The lives and destinies of the Kashpaws and the Lamartines intertwine on and around a North Dakota Indian reservation from 1934 to 1984, in an authentic tale of survival, tenacity, tradition, injustice, and love.
