This Pulitzer Prize winner (Fiction 1969) explores some of the struggles faced by native Americans in the 20th century. It's a somewhat challenging read, almost fragmented - written with past events interwoven with the present and story mixed with myth and legend. But that felt right for the characters and the culture. The central character, a young man named Abel, returns from fighting in a foreign war to find himself torn between his father's traditional ways and the forces of industrial America. Other conflicts include a collision between traditional native American beliefs and Christianity.
This is such a great book! Once I got used to the writing style I couldn't put it down. The characters in this book are so good and I couldn't wait to find out how it ended.
