What is this book about?
Set on an Ojibwe reservation in North Dakota, the novel follows Joe Coutts, a thirteen-year-old whose mother has been brutally attacked. Frustrated by the poor investigation, he sets out to find her attacker with the help of his best friends, Cappy, Angus and Zack. It is Louise Erdrich’s fourteenth novel and part of her ‘justice trilogy’, which also includes The Plague of Doves and LaRose.
