The Sentence: Shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2022
Autor Louise Erdrichen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 ian 2023
'Louise Erdrich is the rarest kind of writer, as compassionate as she is sharp-sighted' Anne Tyler
A wickedly funny ghost story, a tale of passion, of a complex marriage and of a woman's relentless errors.
Tookie works as a bookseller in a small independent bookstore in Minneapolis. When the store's most annoying customer dies on All Souls' Day, her ghost simply refuses to leave the store. Tookie, who landed the job after being released from years of wrongful incarceration, must solve the mystery of this haunting while at the same time trying to understand all that occurs in Minneapolis during a year of grief, astonishment, isolation and furious reckoning.
The Sentence begins on All Souls' Day 2019 and ends on All Souls' Day 2020. Its mystery and proliferating ghost stories during this one year propel a narrative as rich, emotional and profound as anything Louise Erdrich has written.

Recenzii
A novel that reckons with ghosts - of both specific people but also the shadows resulting from America's violent, dark habits
Scintillating . . . More than a gripping ghost story, The Sentence offers profound insights into the effects of the global pandemic and the collateral damage of systemic racism. It adds up to one of Erdrich's most . . . illuminating works to date
Erdrich is one of the greatest living American writers
The poet laureate of the contemporary Native American experience
No one can break your heart and fill it with light all in the same book - sometimes in the same paragraph - quite like Louise Erdrich
'Strange, enchanting and funny: a work about motherhood, doom, regret and the magic - dark, benevolent and every shade in between - of words on paper'
'The story is, perhaps above all, about the peace available to us in books like this'
'[Tookie's] journey, captured in Erdrich's expert prose, is a cathartic and comforting story that book lovers will gobble up'
'Erdrich writes with conviction'
[A[ powerful, endearing novel . . . [The Sentence] resolves in small moments of personal redemption and familial love, allowing for hope amid tragedy
'Promises to be both funny and profound'
'As the owner of a store herself, Erdrich knows whereof she writes, and her off-beat ghost story is in part a love letter to books and the shops that sell them. It also captures with compelling fidelity a year of personal and national dread and anguish - yet still pulls off a happy ending'
'Erdrich's exploration of racial appropriation, and her treatment of such forgery as the stuff of horror, is fascinating. Tookie feels the ghost of Flora breathing in her ear - "let me in" - and at one point, trying to claw her way inside Tookie's body'
'Literature lovers will savour the conversations between booksellers and their customers...Erdrich depicts white privilege while at the same time confirming identity politics is never straightforward'
'A delight, a thought-provoking work of art'
The real and the supernatural lock eyes in the deeply layered, immersive novel
Masterfully written... tackle[s] [a] serious subject matter but also deliver[s] witty writing that makes you laugh out loud
Words still offer solace in this richly layered novel by Erdrich
[A] powerful, endearing novel
'Few novels capture their times as well as this'
'Louise Erdrich is my favourite writer . . . No one is better than Erdrich at creating an entire world and all the people who live there, past, present and future' Ann Patchett, Evening Standard
