Liebeszauber

"There are hardly any authors as soulful and simultaneously sharp-witted as Louise Erdrich." Anne Tyler. "Love Medicine" is the story of the Kashpaws and the Lamartines, two families whose fates are inextricably linked. They are descendants of the Ojibwe Indians and survivors of a harsh world. Between tradition and modernity, adventure and a sense of home, the individual family members tell their stories, sometimes relentlessly and darkly, sometimes humorously and laconically. This blend makes Louise Erdrich's debut novel 'irresistible after just a few pages.' "Only the beauty of this novel saves us from being completely shaken by its immense power." Toni Morrison.
