![]() In looking up the history of fry bread, I found that it also comes with a story of pain and suffering. Often on adventures around the reservation, Joe and his friends were fed Indian fry bread - occasionally with jam or honey, occasionally in the form of tacos. Overall, though, while the central plot was gripping, there was so much extra going on in the story that I found it distracting and was ultimately pulled away from Geraldine and her family’s plight. I thought using the son’s perspective to tell the story was an interesting choice, creating more suspense surrounding the attack. Louise Erdrich’s novel has been highly praised and is award-winning, but I didn’t like it very much. Joe strikes out on his own investigation, bringing him and his friends to a sacred meeting place on the reservation, The Round House. Both her husband and thirteen-year-old son Joe give her space to recover while still determined to do what they can to bring her justice. On an Indian reservation in 1988, a woman is attacked but the details are immediately unclear as Geraldine is reluctant to discuss what happened.
