The Stacks Book Club – February 2023

Our February selection for The Stacks Book Club is The Round House by Louise Erdrich. The thrilling coming-of-age novel set in 1988 centers on a 13 year-old boy named Joe living with his parents on a reservation in North Dakota. After a brutal attack traumatizes his mother into silence and seclusion, and when the authorities fail to take action, Joe is thrust into a complex mystery that sends him on a justice-seeking mission with a trio of friends. Their adventure truly begins when they’re led to the sacred Ojibwe space of The Round House. Released in 2012, The Round House won the National Book Award and was a New York Times Best Book of the Year.
