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 as Geraldine Coutts is traumatized and reluctant to relive or reveal what happened, either to the police or to her husband, Bazil, and thirteen-year-old son, Joe. In one day, Joe's life is irrevocably transformed. He tries to heal his mother, but she will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Increasingly alone, Joe finds himself thrust prematurely into an adult world for which he is ill prepared.
While his father, who is 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 get some answers of his own. Their quest takes them first to the Round House, a sacred space and place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only the beginning.
Written with undeniable urgency, and illuminating the harsh realities of contemporary life in a community where Ojibwe and white live uneasily together, The Round House is a brilliant and entertaining novel, a masterpiece of literary fiction. Louise Erdrich embraces tragedy, the comic, a spirit world very much present in the lives of her all-too-human characters, and a tale of injustice that is, unfortunately, an authentic reflection of what happens in our own world today.

wmst课让读完写读后感。 这么火的书怎么没人翻译啊？！ 要不等我有能力了试试？
评分一个十三岁的孩子策划把犯人杀了那一段很让人揪心，但是后来周围大人们自觉地掩护也很让人动容
评分This novel is a sequential to The Plague of Doves, which tells the stories of Joe's parents and grand parents and grand grand.... Justice is hard to serve and true, "the sentence is to endure". Suffering minorities, bloody unfair treatments, historical debts, to put these in the Chinese context, makes Erdrich's novel ever more intriguing.
评分朗读者让这本书逊色不少
