Louise Erdrich delivers another winner! No stranger to the National Book Award committee, Erdrich is undoubtedly destined for more award greatness. The Round House reveals a little-known aspect of Native American culture — a brutal legacy of violence against women. Erdrich observes the action through the 13-year old eyes of the victim's brave son. This evocative coming-of-age story echoes timeless themes from To Kill a Mockingbird and has become an Alibris staff favorite.
