The Round House, by Louise Erdrich
Erdrich has created an intricately layered novel that not only untangles our nation’s history of moral and judicial failure, but also offers a portrait of a community sustained by its traditions, values, faith, and stories. Macy’s has great Happy Hour food and drink specials. No loud music—we can actually hear one another talking around a big, round table. Just come even if you have not read this great book.

BOOK FOR OCTOBER: One Thousand White Women: The Journals of Mary Dodd.
