The Master Butchers Singing Club

by Louise Erdrich

Characters: are interesting and occasionally unusual, it takes the whole book for them to develop
Plot: drawn with brush strokes where you fill in the details, it develops in leaps rather than consecutive steps, although I found the murder mystery a bit unswallowable. Details of plot
Theme I thought most interesting: cultural integration
Overall: Good read and want to read more Erdrich to see if I like her
