This beautifully written novel by Erdrich draws you in from page one and makes you want to read the book in one sitting. The novel opens when Landreaux Iron accidentally shoots his neighbor's son while hunting. Overcome with guilt and grief, Landreaux turns to his Native American ancestors for guidance. Hoping for redemption and forgiveness, he and his wife give their own son, LaRose, to the grieving family. The narrative chronicles the effect of the adoption on both families and their small North Dakota community while looking back at the life of the first LaRose beginning in 1839.
