'The Round House is an extraordinary, engrossing novel, which should live long in the memory.' Independent on Sunday
A mother is brutally raped by a man on the North Dakota reservation where she lives with her husband and thirteen-year-old son, Joe. Traumatized and afraid in the aftermath she takes to her bed, refusing 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 boy pitched prematurely into an unjust adult world. It is a story of vivid survival; and it confirms Louise Erdrich as one of America's most distinctive contemporary novelists.
