My Rating: 3.0
In New Hampshire, Faye and her mother live together and also have a business appraising estates, During an appraisal, Faye is startled to discover a rare moose skin and cedar drum fashioned long ago by an Ojibwe artisan. And so begins an illuminating journey both backward and forward in time, following the strange passage of a powerful yet delicate instrument, and revealing the extraordinary lives it has touched and defined.
Erdich is a difficult author to capture. Her writing is both funny and haunting. She captures the Indian ways. It can also borderline on depressing and, despite being beautiful it can also be boring.
