Love Medicine is the epic story about the intertwined fates of two families: the Kashpaws and the Lamartines. Set on and around a North Dakota Ojibwe reservation, this novel is a part of Louise Erdrich's highly acclaimed Native American trilogy that includes The Beet Queen, Tracks, and The Bingo Palace. This edition has been re-sequenced and expanded to include never-before-published chapters.
With astonishing virtuosity, each chapter 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.
Filled with humor, magic, injustice, and betrayal, Erdrich blends family love and loyalty in a stunning work of dramatic fiction.
