“The Mighty Red” by Louise Erdrich: In Argus, North Dakota, a wedding intertwines the lives of Gary, Kismet, Hugo, and Crystal. Amidst personal struggles and love triangles, they face broader themes of time, climate change, and economic turmoil. The novel explores the complexities of ordinary people in a prairie community, highlighting their dreams, struggles, and resilience.
Why Molly recommends it: Erdrich’s characters are living in a working-class town which grows sugar beets and, while Indigenous history is relevant to their lives, this story focuses mostly on the odd marriage between Gary and Kismet. I appreciate the vignette style to her chapters, making this an ‘easy’, if uncomfortable read.
