Shadow Tag
Author(s): Louise Erdrich
Review(s):
“Gripping…a hushed and haunting tale.”
“A fearless portrait of a marriage in free fall.”
“A portrait of an ‘iconic’ marriage on its way to dissolution…Erdrich’s unbridled urgency yields startlingly original phrasing as well as flashes of blinding lucidity.”
“A searing, personal examination of one family that’s falling apart…SHADOW TAG is compelling, a bleak exploration of the ties of blood and marriage.”
“Clear, urgent, deep as a swift river…Shadow Tag accomplishes the literary miracle of making a reader ravenous to finish it, while stinging with regret at how soon it must end.”
“A masterpiece…a captivating work of fiction…exquisite…tightly focused…arresting. . . . This profoundly tragic novel captures that lament in some of Erdrich’s most beautiful and urgent writing.”
“The intensity of this exquisite, character-driven tale, its searing efficiency in encompassing the painful legacy of the Native American genocide, and its piercing insights into sex, family, and power are breathtaking. . . . A masterfully concentrated and gripping novel of image and conquest, autonomy and love, inheritance and loss.”
“Erdrich offers a portrait that’s convincing…Shadow Tag is wonderfully, painfully readable and revealing.”
“A domestic drama that builds an almost thriller-like momentum. . . . A novel as dark and tragic as it is difficult to put down”
“A page-turner…a most compelling novel”

“Erdrich is a true original… [and] one of our major writers.” —Washington Post Book World
Shadow Tag, the brilliant new novel by Louise Erdrich, is a stunning tour-de-force from the National Book Critics Circle Award–winning and New York Times–bestselling author of Love Medicine and Pulitzer-Prize-finalist The Plague of Doves. In the vein of the novels of such contemporaries as Zoe Heller and Susan Minot, Shadow Tag is an intense and heart-wrenching story of a troubled marriage and a family in disarray—and a radical departure from Erdrich’s previous acclaimed work.
