While appraising the estate of a New Hampshire family
descended from a North Dakota Indian agent, Faye Travers is
startled to discover a rare moose skin and cedar drum
fashioned long ago by an Ojibwe artisan. And so begins an
illuminating journey both backward and forward in time,
following the strange passage of a powerful yet delicate
instrument, and revealing the extraordinary lives it has
touched and defined.
Compelling and unforgettable,
Louise Erdrich's Painted Drum explores the often
fraught relationship between mothers and daughters, the
strength of family, and the intricate rhythms of grief with
all the grace, wit, and startling beauty that characterizes
this acclaimed author's finest work.
