Commentary/review

Whatever I write about the book would spoil the experience. It could be read in a hammock, as it features one. It is full of Native American medicine.

I would not recommend this book to anyone in a vulnerable state of mind or spirit. It is heavy with old poison, even though it has an uplifting effect when finished.

The book was recommended to me by ChatGPT on the basis of this blog. It is now a candidate for The Book of the Year 2026.

The colorful, modern art looking cover, of the novel “The Sentence”, by Louise Erdrich

The book mentions the 2020 pandemic but the cover looks old. It is probably because of the Native American element but is still looks like modern art the me.
