Shadow tag / Louise Erdrich. by Erdrich, Louise. New York ; Toronto : Harper Perennial, 2011. Subjects Families -- Fiction.   Artists -- Family relationships -- Fiction.   Alcoholism -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780061536106 (paperback) : 0061536105 (paperback) Description:  253 pages ; 21 cm Edition:  1st Harper Perennial ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  Chronicles the emotional war between Irene America, a beautiful, introspective woman of Native American ancestry, struggling to finish her dissertation while raising three children, and her husband Gil, a painter whose reputation is built on a series of now iconic portraits of Irene. This novel presents the story of Irene America, who is a smart, beautiful, introspective woman of Native American descent. Too distracted to finish her doctoral degree, she musters the emotional resources needed to keep two journals. The "Red Diary" is bait, filled with adulterous scenes that Irene uses to push volatile artist husband Gil close enough to the brink that he'll leave her. She unleashes all her rage and frustration in the "Blue Notebook," which she keeps in a bank deposit box. Meanwhile, Gil believes that his obsessive graphic paintings of Irene will somehow lure her back to him. Caught in the crosshairs of their parents' cruel, messy unraveling are 13-year-old Florian, a genius who models his mother's excessive drinking habits; Riel, 11, who believes that only she can hold her disintegrating family together; and sunny little Stoney. The result is a cautionary tale of the shocking havoc that willfully destructive, self-centered spouses wreak not only upon themselves but also upon their children.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Erdrich Checked In Add Copy to MyList
