Synopsis

From Louise Erdrich, acclaimed, award-winning author of The Bingo Palace, comes her richest and most commerical novel yet. Tales of Burning Love takes readers beyond Erdrich's world of the reservation to tell the story of five women whose lives are connected by one man. Their stories broach the repair of wounded hearts and all the discoveries, both comic and painful, made by blind touch.

About this title

Review:

‘Erdrich writes with marvellous zest.’ Sunday Times

From the Back Cover:

Five very different women have married Jack Mauser, a charming, infuriating schemer whose passions never survive the long haul. Now, stranded in a North Dakota blizzard, they have come face-to-face--and each has an astonishing story to tell. Huddling for warmth, they pass the endless night by remembering the stories of how each came to love, marry, and ultimately move beyond Jack. At times painful, at times heartbreaking, and oftentimes comic, their tales become the adhesive that holds them together--in their love for Jack and in their lives as women.

With her characteristic powers of observation and luminescent prose, Louise Erdrich brings these women's unforgettable tales to life in a tour de force from one of the most formidable American writers at work today.
