Louise Erdrich's new novel follows a young woman trapped in an unhappy marriage
In "Les Amants de la Red River," reviewed by Télérama, the American novelist pairs a story of romantic entrapment with a portrait of a country coming apart.
Télérama has reviewed "Les Amants de la Red River," a new novel by Louise Erdrich. The story centers on Kismet, a young woman locked in an unhappy marriage who would have preferred to be with the bookseller's son, a far more sensitive man, according to the outlet's summary.
Télérama describes the novel as built with considerable narrative freedom, running the tensions of a doomed romantic attachment alongside those of a country in decline. The review frames the book as an exploration of male domination set against the darker currents of American life.
No publisher, translator or publication date is given in the available material.
