Love Medicine: Newly Revised Edition

Book Overview: Love Medicine: Newly Revised Edition

Set on a North Dakota Ojibwe reservation, Love Medicine–the first novel from master storyteller and National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich–is an epic story about the intertwined fates of two families: the Kashpaws and the Lamartines.

“The beauty of Love Medicine saves us from being completely devastated by its power.” — Toni Morrison

With astonishing virtuosity, each chapter of this stunning novel 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.

Erdrich has written a multigenerational portrait of strong men and women caught in an unforgettable whirlwind of anger, desire, and the healing power that is love medicine.
