BiblioBitch: The Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich  Louise
Erdrich  Isn't it the best when you stumble upon an amazing book
you just can't put down? That was my feeling when I read The
Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich.  Like many of Erdrich's
previous works, The Plague of Doves is set in a small town. As
many authors do, Erdrich set this novel in the place she grew
up—a Native American reservation in North Dakota. With her
knowledge of reservation life, Erdrich adds an even greater
depth to this complex story. The fictional world she creates
stays true to the realities of small-town life on the Great
Plains, Native American Culture, and our tendency as human
beings to keep secrets and make mistakes.  Like many postmodern
novels, Erdrich's work is told through multiple perspectives.
Critics have compared her narrative style to William Faulkner,
but I would say it's more like William Faulkner meets Willa
Cather because of Erdrich's rich development of the culture and
scenery of the Midwest/ Great Plains region
