House Made of Dawn von N. Scott Momaday

Eine fantastische Entdeckungsreise in die Welt der Literatur

Ein Brief mit einer mysteriösen Nachricht, eine unheimliche Frau, die plötzlich überall auftaucht, und ein rätselhaftes Buch ohne Autor sorgen bei Nils und seiner Cousine Berit für Verwirrung. Die beiden gehen der Sache nach, notieren ihre Beobachtungen und tauschen sich per Tagebuch aus: Die Frau heißt Bibbi Bokken, sie bekommt unzählige Bücher per Post, die scheinbar spurlos verschwinden, und sie verfügt über eine »magische Bibliothek«, in der Bücher stehen, die erst noch geschrieben werden müssen. Immer neue Rätsel tauchen auf, und die Kinder gewinnen mehr und mehr das Gefühl, Figuren in einem undurchschaubaren Spiel zu sein.

“The beauty of Love Medicine saves us from being completely devastated by its power.” — Toni Morrison

Set on a North Dakota Ojibwe reservation, Love Medicine—the first novel from master storyteller and National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich—is an epic story about the intertwined fates of two families: the Kashpaws and the Lamartines.

With astonishing virtuosity, each chapter of this stunning novel draws on a range of voices to limn its tales. Black humor mingles with magic, injustice bleeds into betrayal, and through it all, bonds of love and family marry the elements into a tightly woven whole that pulses with the drama of life.

Erdrich has written a multigenerational portrait of strong men and women caught in an unforgettable whirlwind of anger, desire, and the healing power that is love medicine.

This beautifully designed Harper Perennial Deluxe Edition of Love Medicine features French flaps and deckle-edge pages, the perfect gift book for fans of Louise Erdrich.
