It is about on-the-job pains and immeasurable satisfactions, a turbulent landscape, and eating the native weeds growing in your backyard. It is about ordinary people who dream, grow up, fall in love, struggle, endure tragedy, carry bitter secrets; men and women both complicated and contradictory, flawed and decent, lonely and hopeful. It is about a starkly beautiful prairie community whose members must cope with devastating consequences as powerful forces upend them. As with all of Louise Erdrich&#8217;s books, <em><strong>The Mighty Red<\/strong><\/em> is about our tattered bond with the earth, and about love in all of its absurdity and splendor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bee-row bee-row-6\">\n<div class=\"bee-row-content\">\n<div class=\"bee-col bee-col-1 bee-col-w12\">\n<div class=\"bee-block bee-block-1 bee-paragraph\">\n<p><strong>Zoom meeting details will be provided via email after registration.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Questions<\/strong>:\u00a0<a title=\"mgfoh@aol.com\" href=\"mailto:mgfoh%40aol.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michele Foss &#8217;97<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please note that the St. Olaf Virtual Book Club is a volunteer-led initiative.
