Louise Erdrich's National Book Award-winning THE ROUND HOUSE introduces readers to Geraldine Coutt, the victim of a recent attack who is reluctant to relive or reveal to anyone what happened. She will not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Her son, Joe, becomes frustrated with the official investigation and sets out with his trusted friends to get some answers of his own. Their quest takes them first to the Round House, a sacred space and place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only the beginning.
