Customer Reviews

Interesting portrait of life on the reservation

Joseph Boyden writes with a unique style that keeps the reader fully involved with the characters. His stories can be both amusing and brutally descriptive. His first novel "The Three Day Road" was one of those "can't put it down" books. Both the novel and the book of short stories have something in common. Even if you check back numerous times, you are still never sure what actually happens to the characters. Makes for interesting discussions with others that have read the books.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Joseph Boyden captures the the richness and beauty in his characters. His collection of stories are engrossing and a joy to read. I highly recommend this book!!!
