I am a reader and book evangelist. For many years I have kept a reading journal with little descriptions of the books I read and dates I read them. Kind of a trail of book bread crumbs that chart my interests over a given course of time. This blog gives me a way to continue my journal and share my reading interests with others. My latest adventures in creating, dining, and traveling can be found at my website LindasOtherLife.com

A Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich
I have been an Erdrich fan for a long time, and her new novel did not disappoint. Loosely based on the history of a North Dakota farm family slaughter, this novel is both mystery and family saga. Central to the story is Eveline Harp, the daughter of an Indian mother and a white school teacher. Every event in her present day life is set against the fantastic stories told by her grandfather, Mooshum Milk, who was involved in the 1911 crime.
