The story of an independent bookstore owner haunted by the ghost of a woman who died reading a book should be more than I need to keep me reading, but Erdrich, as she often does in her books, cannot resist incorporating endless pages of Native American history, culture, folklore, and more. Slow and steady but only half way through with three days left before it will automatically return. The library may be sending me a message – I need to read this book. Suddenly, it was there again – seven days to read – and I have been making an effort. This time I made it to the second chapter before it whooshed back to the library, despite my effort to renew. Next, Libby offered it to me as a “skip the line” book – again seven days to read it. Libby, my online librarian, first gave it to me as a hot pick – 7 days to read, but it came and went back without my looking at it and I ordered it again. Louise Erdrich is not one of my favorite authors but at the recommendation of a good friend, I have been trying to read her latest book The Sentence.
