( ) Just a stunning novel. I loved the fiercely independent women that populate this novel and the sometimes destructive, sometimes tender (but let's face it, usually pretty destructive) men who love them. There is so much tragedy countered with a surprising amount of humor, and I could not have imagined a better ending. As always, Louise Erdrich has my heart and soul. “Family stories repeat themselves in patterns and waves generation to generation, across bloods and times.” Beautifully written! For example, “The tiny particulate unyellowed leaves of the locust trees flickered and swam in the moving air.” And, “Longing is the bliss of thieves that getting kills.” Wowza! The end of part one is heartbreakingly sad. Well, the whole book is a bit sad. But that's family, right? It's such a real story, full of the ups and downs of life, marriage, and parenting. And it's so interconnected and confusing. "Everything is all knotted up in a tangle. Pull one string of this family and the whole web will tremble." So true... The beads, the needles, and the family. A pleasure to read! And the last paragraph of the book, just perfect! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
