The Sentence by Louise Erdrich

Staff Recommendation from Powell's Books:

Tookie is a remarkably unique and intriguing protagonist. After a betrayal and years of incarceration, she gets a job at Birchbark Books (a real bookstore owned by Erdrich). Ghosts pervade the story — a former customer haunts the bookstore, the ghosts of Tookie’s past haunt her memories, and the horrific history of genocide perpetrated against Native Americans haunts all the characters. Set in Minneapolis between 2019 and 2020, Tookie, her family, and friends try to make sense of a year marked by grief, fury, and despair. Despite it all, they perform acts of kindness, seek out meaningful connections, and express their love, even when it’s a struggle. Recommended By Lucinda G., Powells.com
