ROUND HOUSE - LOUISE ERDRICH TASCHENBUCH

'The Round House is an extraordinary  engrossing novel  which should live long in the memory.'
Independent on Sunday One Sunday in the spring of 1988  a woman living on a reservation in
North Dakota is attacked. The details of the crime are slow to surface because Geraldine Coutts
is traumatized and reluctant to relive or reveal what happened  either to the police or to her
husband and thirteen-year-old son  Joe. As Geraldine slips into an abyss of solitude  young Joe
finds himself thrust prematurely into an adult world for which he is ill prepared. While his
father  a tribal judge  endeavors to wrest justice from a situation that defies his efforts 
Joe becomes frustrated with the official investigation and sets out with his trusted friends 
Cappy  Zack  and Angus  to find some answers of his own. The Round House is a page-turning
masterpiece -- at once a powerful coming-of-age story  a mystery  and a tender novel of family
history  and culture by one of the most revered novelists of our time. 'Echoes of Stand By Me .
. . A classic coming-of-age narrative.' Observer 'Fascinating.' The Times
