On a cold spring morning in 1932, two children, Karl and Mary Adare, leap from a boxcar. Orphaned in a most peculiar way Karl and Mary have come to Argus, in the heart of rural North Dakota, to seek refuge with their aunt Fritzie. So begins an exhilarating tale, spanning some forty years and brimming with unforgettable characters: ordinary Mary, who causes a miracle; seductive, restless Karl, who lacks his sister's gift for survival; Celestine James, Mary's life-long friend; and Celestine's fearless, wild daughter Dot- the Beet Queen.

Biographie de Louise Erdrich

Louise Erdrich grew up in North Dakota and is of German-American and Chippewa descent. Her first novel, Love Medicine, won the US National Book Critics Circle Award and was followed by three companion works - The Beet Queen, Tracks and The Bingo Palace - each self-contained, but linked by a host of unforgettable characters who appear throughout the quartet. Louise Erdrich has also published poetry, children's books, and a memoir of early motherhood, The Blue Jay's Dance.
She lives in Minnesota with her children, who help her run a small independent bookstore called the Birchback.
