'The beauty of ‘Love Medicine’ saves us from being completely devastated by its power.' Toni Morrison
'A powerful piece of work … Louise Erdrich is the rarest kind of writer, as compassionate as she is sharp-sighted.' Anne Tyler
'The impression is of a river of memory bursting its banks and overflowing upon the page in an irresistible flood.' Angela Carter
'Erdrich presents a variety of voices: each forceful in its own way, each adding a different dimension – cruel, sombre, humorous – to what is cumulously a wondrous prose song … ‘Love Medicine’ is finally about the enduring verities of loving and surviving, and these truths are revealed in a narrative that is an invigorating mixture of the cosmic and the tragic.' New York Times
