Did not know what this was about as I did not choose it. My book club did. I just jumped in blind.

The lives of Chippewa Indians in North Dakota in 1953. Erdrich is an extremely talented wordsmith. Diving right back in.

Ok, here we go. Hope this stands up to all the accolades...after all it won the Pulitzer!

But we will see. I've read several books that took the Pulitzer that I did not care for or that I liked but did not IMHO deserve the prize.

It is on hiatus right now but I belonged to a book club that read nothing but Pulitzers. We read some beauties but a few also that were disappointing to me.

Reading for Historical Fiction book club on Monday. Virtual book club at the East Hampton Library in the state of New York and I'm in Houston...isn't that wonderful?

Starting this for Historical Fiction book club in April. She took the Pulitzer for this novel.
