The Round House won the National Book Award for fiction. Among the most revered authors of our time– a dazzling chronicler of Native-American life– Louise Erdrich goes back to the territory of her bestselling, Pulitzer Reward finalist The Plague of Doves with The Round House, transporting readers to the Ojibwe reservation in North Dakota. It is an exquisitely told story of a boy on the cusp of manhood who seeks justice and understanding in the wake of a horrible criminal activity that overthrows and forever transforms his family. Riveting and suspenseful, perhaps the most accessible book to date from the developer of Love Medicine, The Beet Queen, and The Bingo Palace, Erdrich’s The Round Home is a page-turning masterpiece of literary fiction– at the same time a powerful coming-of-age story, a mystery, and a tender, moving novel of household, history, and culture.
