Fiction. Literature. HTML:

This updated edition of National Book Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Louise Erdrich???s 1998 novel now features fascinating new content, a new title, and a new foreword by the author???a riveting story that explores tensions between Native American and white cultures.

???Audacious and surprising. . . . One of America???s most distinctive fictional voices.??????Boston Globe

When Klaus Shawano abducts Sweetheart Calico, the seductive Indian woman who has stolen his heart, and takes her far from her native Montana plains to his own Minneapolis home, he cannot begin to imagine the eventual ramifications his brazen act will entail. Shawano???s mysterious Antelope Woman has utterly mesmerized him???and soon proves to be a bewitching agent of chaos whose effect on others is disturbing and irresistible, as she alters the shape of things around her and the shape of things to come.

The Roy and Shawano families have been inextricably intertwined for generations and, unbeknownst to them, the mysterious Antelope Woman is a part of their fierce and haunting history. Antelope Woman ingeniously illuminates how that history affects the contemporary descendants of these families who are the products of two cultures, Ojibwe and white, which sit in uneasy relationship to one another.

In this remarkable novel, Erdrich weaves an unforgettable tapestry of ancestry, fate, harrowing tragedy, and redemption that is at once modern and eternal.

I have the updated version, Antelope Woman: A Novel. ( )
  KittyCunningham | May 8, 2023 |
Lyrical magical realism. This was my first Erdrich, but I plan to look up others. It was also the first book-on-tape that I managed to listen to all the way through. ( )
  Charon07 | Jul 16, 2021 |
Just a stunning novel. I loved the fiercely independent women that populate this novel and the sometimes destructive, sometimes tender (but let's face it, usually pretty destructive) men who love them. There is so much tragedy countered with a surprising amount of humor, and I could not have imagined a better ending. As always, Louise Erdrich has my heart and soul. ( )

“Family stories repeat themselves in patterns and waves generation to generation, across bloods and times.”

Beautifully written! For example, “The tiny particulate unyellowed leaves of the locust trees flickered and swam in the moving air.” And, “Longing is the bliss of thieves that getting kills.” Wowza!
The end of part one is heartbreakingly sad. Well, the whole book is a bit sad. But that's family, right? It's such a real story, full of the ups and downs of life, marriage, and parenting. And it's so interconnected and confusing. "Everything is all knotted up in a tangle. Pull one string of this family and the whole web will tremble." So true...

The beads, the needles, and the family. A pleasure to read! And the last paragraph of the book, just perfect! ( )

This one was just so-so for me. I had real trouble getting into it and found some of the more mystical bits (especially early in the book) hard to enjoy. It felt like a series of fragments that might've worked better as parts of a longer and better book. ( )
