具体描述
One Sunday in the spring of 1988, a woman living on a reservation in North Dakota is attacked. The details of the crime are slow to surface as Geraldine Coutts is traumatized and reluctant to relive or reveal what happened, either to the police or to her husband, Bazil, and thirteen-year-old son, Joe. In one day, Joe's life is irrevocably transformed. He tries to heal his mother, but she will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Increasingly alone, Joe finds himself thrust prematurely into an adult world for which he is ill prepared.
While his father, who is a tribal judge, endeavors to wrest justice from a situation that defies his efforts, Joe becomes frustrated with the official investigation and sets out with his trusted friends, Cappy, Zack, and Angus, to get some answers of his own. Their quest takes them first to the Round House, a sacred space and place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only the beginning.
Written with undeniable urgency, and illuminating the harsh realities of contemporary life in a community where Ojibwe and white live uneasily together, The Round House is a brilliant and entertaining novel, a masterpiece of literary fiction. Louise Erdrich embraces tragedy, the comic, a spirit world very much present in the lives of her all-too-human characters, and a tale of injustice that is, unfortunately, an authentic reflection of what happens in our own world today.

评分Start off strong but wrap up with a crappy ending. Hate the ghosts and all the supernatural stuff, which is quite a disturbance in this story. Really a chore to finish this book.
评分trauma课的第一本书，bearing witness/ natural of trauma/ transform in personal respective. 写了三千字 religion的不可获取， 沉默亦有力，一些supernatural的超验，树种子季节隐喻，一个接一个织大网的tragedy，如此真实。好书
评分第一次看Erdrich的书是大二，Love Medicine，她的第一本小说，为此我还特意想把毕业论文作成印地安文学，一晃8年过去，她写出了第14本小说，我这个读者觉得当时想象的以后决不是现在的样子。书是写印地安妇女被强暴的社会问题，故事有力，但总是有点on and off的味道，3.5
评分This novel is a sequential to The Plague of Doves, which tells the stories of Joe's parents and grand parents and grand grand.... Justice is hard to serve and true, "the sentence is to endure". Suffering minorities, bloody unfair treatments, historical debts, to put these in the Chinese context, makes Erdrich's novel ever more intriguing.
