“The beauty of Love Medicine saves us from being completely devastated by its power.” —Toni Morrison
Louise Erdrich’s debut novel, one of the most influential, beloved, and distinguished works of contemporary fiction and the winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, is now available as a special Harper Perennial Olive Edition.
Love Medicine tells the story of two families, the Kashpaws and the Lamartines. Set on a North Dakota Ojibwe reservation and written in Erdrich’s uniquely poetic, powerful style, it is a multi-generational portrait of strong men and women caught in an unforgettable dance of anger and desire and a revelation of the healing power of love medicine.
Each chapter of this stunning novel draws on a range of voices, black humor mingles with magic, injustice bleeds into betrayal, while the bonds of love and family marry the elements into a tightly woven whole that pulses with the drama of life.
