In Love Medicine - the story of the intertwined fates of the Kashpaws and the Lamartines on and around a North Dakota reservation from 1934 to 1984 - she writes about servival, tenacity, and the supreme power of the heart. With complete authenticity, Erdrich weaves a tale that encompasses all of the forms of love: the endlessly trua snag of the flesh, the bind in blood, even the love that is proved pnly by betrayal. Life crowds these pages, powerful with music, with magic, and with the knowledge of age-old mysteries as well as fresh injustice. Rarely has aa novelist's debut combines passion and drama so convincingly; rarely has a writer created a world that matters so much to the reader who meets it for the first time. This went quickly into later printings. Cover praise from Anne Tyler, Kay Boyle and Peter Matthiessen (who called this a 'remarkable first novel ... conveying unflinchingly the funkiness, humor and unspoken sadness of the Indian reservations, and a people exiled to a no-man's land between two worlds.') Extremities faded and rubbed. Not-price clipped dustjacket. Dustjacket has a little tear on backboard and has light rubbing on head of the spine and light edge wear. Fine in fine dustjacket.
