| The first book in Erdrich''s Native American tetralogy that includes The Beet Queen, Tracks, and The Bingo Palace is an authentic and emotionally powerful glimpse into the Native American experience--now resequenced and expanded to include never-before-published chapters. |
Annotation:
Erdrich's first novel, published in 1984, is actually a collection of interrelated but independent stories about characters who subsequently became perennial actors in her vast and colorful drama of Native American life.

Author Bio
Louise Erdrich
Erdrich's mother was Chippewa, her father German, and she was raised in North Dakota near the Chippewa reservation where her grandparents lived--a setting for much of her work. She attended Dartmouth, where she met the writer Michael Dorris, whom she married in 1981, and from whom she separated shortly before his suicide in 1997. Erdrich and Dorris collaborated on several of their fiction works. In her novels and short stories, Erdrich writes about her Native-American heritage, often transplanting characters from one book to another. Her dominant theme is the struggle to retain traditional Native-American values in the face of poverty, racism, and the pervasiveness of white culture.
Praise
New York Times Book Review
"The Beet Queen [and Love Medicine] provoke in me amazement and gratitude at his splendid, feisty talent, capable of bizarre comedy, ordinary midwestern facts and vigorous tragedy." - Robert Bly 8/31/86 (unknown)
"Louise Erdrich is the rarest kind of writer, as compassionate as she is sharpsighted, and 'Love Medicine' is a powerful piece of work." - Anne Tyler (unknown)
"A remarkable first novel, quick with agile prose, taut speech, poetry and power." - Peter Matthiessen (unknown)
"The beauty of Love Medicine saves us from being completely devastated by its power." - Toni Morrison
