The Sentence by Louise Erdrich

Tookie has survived more than what COVID is dishing out. Now, out of prison and working at a local independent bookstore that specializes in indigenous titles, Tookie has another problem. One of the bookstores more annoying customers has died and is haunting the store, particularly Tookie. She must rid herself of Flora but can only do so by delving into Flora's claim of a native heritage while battling racial tension, COVID shutdowns and a lack of trust in her marriage. Beautiful heartfelt prose and witty banter combined with a strong sense of community and tribal pride this story tackles much of the fear and uncertainty we have all felt the past year and a half. One again, Louise Erdrich has treated us to another rich and colorful story. An added bonus is the extensive book list in the back of the book of all the titles mentioned.  4 stars
