This book helped me understand some of the issues with VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) and its connection to Native Americans.
From Amazon.com:
"One of the most revered novelists of our time--a brilliant chronicler of Native American Life--Louise Erdrich returns to the territory of her bestselling, Pulitzer Prize finalist The Plague of Doves with The Round House, transporting readers to the Ojibwe resercation in North Dakota. It is an exquisitely told story of a boy in the cusp of manhood who seeks justice and understanding in the wake of a terrible crime that upends and forever transforms his family."
Riveting and Suspenseful, arguably the most accessible novel to date from the creator of Love Medicine, The Beet Queen, and The Bingo Palace, Endrich's The Round House is a page-turning masterpiece of literary fiction--at once a power coming-of-age story, a mystery, and a tender, moving, novel of family, history and culture.
