The Master Butchers Singing Club : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: My new favorite book
Review: Warning: this book is NOT about a Master Butcher's Singing Club. It is the story of Delphine Watzka. Erdrich has a wonderful way of intricately weaving subplots together to create a fully three-dimensional character. A poignant, moving, beautifully written novel. Erdrich's best yet!

Summary: Wish I had her to look forward to...
Review: When someone sees me carrying one of Louise Erdich's books and asks how it is, my first question is, "Have you read her other books?" If the answer is no, I reply "I'm jealous. I wish I had her to look forward to." Her books never fail to meserize me, from the first page. With flashes of dark earthy humor and knowledge of the territory surpassing any other writer, she brings to life a place and people so vividly, the reader feels they've been there. Her geography is distinct, like Faulker's Yoknapatawpha County. As are her people.
