Shadow Tag
(HarperCollins)
by Louise Erdrich
Subscribers receive:
 | A signed first edition of Shadow Tag, in a custom slipcase, designed exclusively for Indiespensable subscribers |
| An Advance Readers Copy of a highly anticipated novel |

Louise Erdrich, Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times-bestselling author of The Plague of Doves and Love Medicine, returns with an intriguing new novel. "An intricate tale of heartbreak and humor" (Washington Post Book World), Shadow Tag is an intense and mesmerizing story of a troubled marriage and a family in disarray.
"Into this deeply personal novel about marriage, family and individual identity, Erdrich weaves broader questions about cause and effect in history....A small masterpiece of compelling, painfully moving fiction."
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"[Erdrich's] accomplishment in these pages is Tolstoy-like: to render human particularity so meticulously and with such fierce passion as to convey the great, glittering movement of time."
—San Francisco Chronicle
