so-soLaRose is the name of the 5 year old son of the Ojibwe couple, Landreaux and Emmaline. LaRose is a family name passed down through generations. This is the first time that its bearer is male. A tragic accident causes LaRose to be given to another family. Louise Erdrich is a skilled writer.At times so beautiful and often just as ugly. A bit too much grit for my taste.I have enjoyed her other books more. #authoramonth #booked2023 #anypartofatrilogy
