The Round House
A thirteen-year-old on a North Dakota reservation sets out to find the man who attacked his mother.
Joe Coutts is thirteen in 1988, living on an Ojibwe reservation in North Dakota. After a violent attack on his mother, frustrated by the poor investigation, he sets out with his friends to find the attacker, while his father, a tribal judge, works through the law. The novel is part of Louise Erdrich’s justice trilogy with The Plague of Doves and LaRose, and it won the 2012 National Book Award for Fiction.
