LAROSE

Résumé :

Late summer in North Dakota, 1999 : Landreaux Iron stalks a deer along the edge of the property bordering his own. He shoots with confidence but only when he staggers closer does he realise he has killed his neighbour's son. Horrified at what he's done, Landreaux turns to an Ojibwe tribe tradition for guidance, and finds a way forward. Following an ancient means of retribution, he and his wife will give their son LaRose to the bereaved parents of the boy he killed.
"Our son will be your son now", they tell them. Inspiring and affecting, LaRose is a powerful exploration of loss, justice and the reparation of the human heart, and an unforgettable, dazzling tour de force from one of America's most distinguished literary masters.
