One Sunday in the spring of 1988, a woman living on a reservation in North Dakota is attacked. The details of the crime are slow to surface as Geraldine Coutts is traumatized and reluctant to relive or reveal what happened, either to the police or to her husband, Bazil, and thirteen-year-old son, Joe. In one day, Joe's life is irrevocably transformed. He tries to heal his mother, but she will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Increasingly alone, Joe finds himself thrust prematurely into an adult world for which he is ill prepared.
While his father, who is a tribal judge, endeavors to wrest justice from a situation that defies his efforts, Joe becomes frustrated with the official investigation and sets out with his trusted friends, Cappy, Zack, and Angus, to get some answers of his own. Their quest takes them first to the Round House, a sacred space and place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only the beginning.
Written with undeniable urgency, and illuminating the harsh realities of contemporary life in a community where Ojibwe and white live uneasily together, The Round House is a brilliant and entertaining novel, a masterpiece of literary fiction. Louise Erdrich embraces tragedy, the comic, a spirit world very much present in the lives of her all-too-human characters, and a tale of injustice that is, unfortunately, an authentic reflection of what happens in our own world today.

<The Round House> 貌似是有社會意義的小說。講印第安人受到攻擊後，受害人的兒子進行復仇的故事
评分trauma課的第一本書，bearing witness/ natural of trauma/ transform in personal respective. 寫瞭三韆字 religion的不可獲取， 沉默亦有力，一些supernatural的超驗，樹種子季節隱喻，一個接一個織大網的tragedy，如此真實。好書
评分印第安人原來到瞭現代依然受著欺淩，真悲催。作者用她優美的文筆描繪瞭一幅生動的印第安保留區畫捲，以及一眾個性各異的人物。故事發生在1988年，但是作者穿插瞭很多近乎神話的印第安傳說，同時用大量篇幅描述基督教文化對保留地的入侵，充滿瞭對印第安文化傳承的擔憂。
