Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
The Antelope Wife extends the branches of the families who populate Louise Erdrich's earlier novels, and once again, her unsentimental, unsparing writing captures the Native American sense of despair, magic, and humor. Rooted in myth and set in contemporary Minneapolis, this poetic and haunting story spans a century, at the center of which is a mysterious and graceful woman known as the Antelope Wife. Elusive, silent, and bearing a mystical link to nature, she embodies a complicated quest for love and survival that impacts lives in unpredictable ways. Her tale is an unpredictable ways. Her tale is an unforgettable tapestry of ancestry, fate, harrowing tragedy, and redemption, that seems at once modern and eternal.
Review:
"This is realism at its most magical, in a novel as satisfying as any Erdrich has written."
Kirkus, 02/15/1998
Review:"The point is not that Ms. Erdrich's fiction, like that of many writers, mirrors some of her own experiences; the point is that 'The Antelope Wife' stands as one of her most powerful and fully imagined novels yet. Though 'The Antelope Wife' is marred by occasional patches of overwriting, the book marks a happy return to the elliptical, dreamlike storytelling of Ms. Erdrich's earliest novels....Ms. Erdrich has returned to doing what she does best: using multiple viewpoints and strange, surreal tales within tales to conjure up a family's legacy of love, duty and guilt....She has given us a fiercely imagined tale of love and loss, a story that manages to transform tragedy into comic redemption, sorrow into heroic survival. She has given us a wonderfully sad, funny and affecting novel."
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, 03/24/1998

Book Description: HarperCollins Publishers Inc, United States, 1998. Paperback. Book Condition: New. HarperPerennial ed. 197 x 121 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. One of America's most celebrated authors offers a powerful story suffused with a Native American sense of magic. Originally an important hunting ground for the Ojibway, the city of Minneapolis draws from nearby reservations many Native people, people who infuse the city with a strong and ongoing Native presence as well as a potent indigenous past. This story brings to life the people who live in or around this midwestern city. And like a modern city itself, it portrays people of all backgrounds and is a mixture of vibrant cultures and ideas. But also like a modern city, it has an edge, troubled by violence. "New York Times" bestselling author Louise Erdrich has twice won the National Magazine Award and her work has been included in both the O. Henry and the Best American collections several times.
