The Sentence
book summary
In this fantasy novel that I admired as much as it was timed, Pulitzer Prize winner and national writer Louise Erdrich creates a wickedly funny ghost story, a passionately ambitious tale of complicated marriages and the mistakes of a relentless woman's life.
Louise Erdrich's latest novel "The Sentence" asks what we owe to the living in this world, the dead in the second world, readers and books. A small independent bookstore in Minneapolis is haunted from November 2019 to November 2020 by the store's most annoying customers who always make trouble. Flora dies on All Souls Day, but she simply won't leave the store because she's too attached to him. Toki, who landed a job selling books after years in prison who survived reading it with "fatal interest," must solve the mystery of this predicament that began with the death of a shopkeeper while at the same time trying to make sense of all that is happening in Minneapolis during a year of grief, astonishment and isolation. An angry account.
The book begins in bulk on All Souls 'Day 2019' and ends on All Souls' Day 2020. Its mystery and proliferation of ghost stories this year drive the story's narrative as rich, emotional and profound as all of Louise Erdrich's writings.
