Welcome to Litsy!

I wanted to love this look at a Native woman‘s life, but I just got a little lost in places. I‘m not entirely sure why, and it may have been entirely me, not the book. I do think this would be a good one to try for those who struggled with The Lost Journals of Sacajawea. The writing style here is much more accessible.

Louise White Elk and Baptiste Yellow Knife, beautiful, strong and courageous lovers hell bent on self destruction. Both wanting only to survive brutality and prejudice. #alltimefave

#TBRtemptation post 8! It has a 4-star GR rating, and praise from Louise Erdrich, Sherman Alexie, James Welch, and others. On the reservation, danger looms everywhere. Fiery-haired Louise White Elk dreams of belonging and escape. And there's 3 men, each more dangerous than the next, who will do anything to make her his. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Beautiful & heartbreaking tale set on the Flathead Reservation in the 1940s that won a number of awards including an American Book Award & a Spur Award for Best Novel of the West.

Highly recommended for fans of Louise Erdrich & Leslie Marmon Silko.
