'The Antelope Wife' extends the branches of the families who populate Louise Erdrich's earlier novels and once again, her unsentimental, unsparing writing captures the Native American sense of despair, magic and humour. Rooted in myth and set in contemporary Minneapolis, this poetic and haunting story spans a century, at the centre of which is a mysterious and graceful woman known as the Antelope Wife. Elusive, silent, and bearing a mystical link to nature, she embodies a complicated quest for love and survival that impacts on lives in unpredictable ways. Her tale is an unforgettable tapestry of ancestry, fate, harrowing tragedy, and redemption, that seems at once modern and eternal.
