SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2022 PULITZER
PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE NIGHT WATCHMAN
----------------------------------------------------- In this
stunning and timely novel, Pulitzer Prize and National Book
Award-winning author Louise Erdrich creates a wickedly funny ghost
story, a tale of passion, of a complex marriage and of a woman's
relentless errors. Louise Erdrich's latest novel, The Sentence,
asks what we owe to the living, the dead, to the reader and to the
book. A small independent bookstore in Minneapolis is haunted from
November 2019 to November 2020 by the store's most annoying
customer. Flora dies on All Souls' Day, but she simply won't leave
the store. Tookie, who has landed a job selling books after years
of incarceration that she survived by reading 'with murderous
attention,' must solve the mystery of this haunting while at the
same time trying to understand all that occurs in Minneapolis
during a year of grief, astonishment, isolation and furious
reckoning. The Sentence begins on All Souls' Day 2019 and ends on
All Souls' Day 2020. Its mystery and proliferating ghost stories
during this one year propel a narrative as rich, emotional and
profound as anything Louise Erdrich has written.
