A review by godelewa
LaRose by Louise Erdrich

emotional sad medium-paced

4.5

Not as great as The Round House, but given that The Round House is one of my absolute favourite books that would have been a miracle.

I kind of had an unexpected epiphany reading this book. I have no connection at all to Native Americans, but LaRose's exploration of boarding school trauma helped me understand relatives who were forced into sporting schools under communism (not that I mean to compare it).
