The Antelope Wife extends the branches of the
families who populate Louise Erdrich's earlier novels, and
once again, her unsentimental, unsparing writing captures
the Native American sense of despair, magic, and humor.
Rooted in myth and set in contemporary Minneapolis, this
poetic and haunting story spans a century, at the center of
which is a mysterious and graceful woman known as the
Antelope Wife. Elusive, silent, and bearing a mystical link
to nature, she embodies a complicated quest for love and
survival that impacts lives in unpredictable ways. Her tale
is an unpredictable ways. Her tale is an unforgettable
tapestry of ancestry, fate, harrowing tragedy, and
redemption, that seems at once modern and eternal.
