Synopsis
In TRACKS, Erdrich writes about a collection of diverse Native American women in interrelated tales that begin in the early 20th century. Fleur is a Chippewa trying to raise her difficult daughter, while she struggles to maintain her identity and keep alive her people's traditions in a white world that is increasingly alien. In FOUR SOULS, Erdrich returns to Fleur to tell a story of vengeance. Determined to kill the wealthy, underhanded developer who long ago stole her land in North Dakota, she gets a job in his Minneapolis home as a laundress. When she discovers that he is actually an invalid, she knows she needs to make him well enough to be murdered. As she accomplishes this, their relationship takes a strange turn, and Fleur's impulse to revenge is more complicated than she thought. Deeply embedded in Erdrich's ongoing saga about the Ojibwe people, FOUR SOULS draws deeply on characters and events from TRACKS and other chapters in the story.
