In her boldest and most darkly humorous novel yet,
award-winning, critically acclaimed and bestselling novelist
Louise Erdrich tells the intimate and powerful stories of
five Great Plains women whose lives are connected through
one man.
Stranded in a North Dakota blizzard, Jack
Mauser's former wives huddle for warmth and pass the endless
night by remembering the stories of how each came to love,
marry and ultimately move beyond Jack. At times painful, at
times heartbreaking and often times comic, their tales
become the adhesive that holds them together in their love
for Jack and in their lives as women.
Erdrich, with her
characteristic powers of observation and luminescent prose,
brings these women's unforgettable stories to life with
astonishing candor and warmth. Filled with keen perceptions
about the apparatus for survival, the force of passion and
the necessity of hope, Tales of Burning Love is a
tour de force from one of the most formidable American
writers at work today.
