Beschreibung

<p><b>In this stunning novel, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louise Erdrich tells a story of love, natural forces, spiritual yearnings, and the tragic impact of uncontrollable circumstances on ordinary people's lives.</b><br><br>In Argus, North Dakota, a fraught wedding is taking place.<br><br>Gary Geist, a terrified young man set to inherit two farms, is desperate to marry Kismet Poe. Gary thinks Kismet is the answer to all of his problems; Kismet can't even imagine her future, let alone the kind of future Gary might offer. During a clumsy proposal, Kismet misses her chance to say 'no' and so the die is cast.<br><br>Hugo has adored Kismet for years. He has been her friend, confidante and occasionally her lover - and now she is marrying Gary, Hugo is determined to steal her back. <br><br>Meanwhile Kismet's mother, Crystal, hauls sugar beets for Gary's family, and on her nightly truck drives from the farm to the factories, she tunes in to the darkness of late-night radio, sees visions of guardian angels, and worries for the future - both her daughter's and her own.<br><br>Starkly beautiful like the landscape it inhabits, <i>The Mighty Red</i> is about ordinary people who dream, grow up, fall in love, struggle, endure tragedy and carry bitter secrets. And as with every book this great modern master writes, <i>The Mighty Red</i> is about our tattered bond with the earth, and about love in all of its absurdity and splendour.</p>
