Overview

Inspired by the lore of her Sioux heritage, this "captivating"(New York Times Book Review) critically-acclaimed novel from Susan Power weaves the stories of the old and the young, of broken families, romantic rivals, men and women in love and at war...

Set on a North Dakota reservation, The Grass Dancer reveals the harsh price of unfulfilled longings and the healing power of mystery and hope. Rich with drama and infused with the magic of the everyday, it takes readers on a journey through both past and present--in a tale as resonant and haunting as an ancestor's memory, and as promising as a child's dream.

  • Family drama and magic? Yes, please.

    Katie B. - 4 years 7 months ago

    While being a beautiful collection of magical-realist tales, this is a book of juicy family drama spanning back hundreds of years. While the plot is non-linear, the story spans generations of different families in the Sioux tribe, weaving Sioux folklore through the centuries. If you're a fan of unique formats and generational stories, I'd highly recommend.
