A mother is brutally raped by a man on their North Dakota
reservation where she lives with her husband and thirteen-year-old
son, Joe. Traumatized and afraid, she takes to her bed and refuses
to talk to anyone - including the police. While her husband, a
tribal judge, endeavours to wrest justice from a situation that
defies his keenest efforts, young Joe's world shifts on its child's
axis. Confused, and nursing a complicated fury, Joe sets out to
find answers that might put his mother's attacker behind bars - and
make everything right again. Or so he hopes. The Round House is a
poignant and abundantly humane story of a young boy pitched
prematurely into an unjust adult world. It is a story of vivid
survival; and tt confirms Louise Erdrich as one of America's most
distinctive contemporary novelists.
