Title : The Child of the Next Dawn - Louise Erdrich - book

• Summary

Our world is coming to an end. In the wake of a biological apocalypse, the evolution of species has come to an abrupt halt, and the United States is now under the control of a religious and totalitarian government that requires pregnant women to register. It is in this context that Cedar Hawk Songmaker, a young Indian woman adopted at birth by a white couple in Minneapolis, learns that she is expecting a child. Determined to protect her baby at all costs, she sets out on a desperate flight, hoping to find a safe place to take refuge. Knowing she is threatened, she sets out on a desperate flight, determined to protect her baby at all costs.

Strikingly renewing the universe of the author of LaRose And In the silence of the wind, Louise Erdrich's new novel takes us far beyond fiction, into a frightening future where the notions of freedom and procreation are political weapons. Echoing The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, this story, reminiscent of an Orwellian fable, reminds us of the power of imagination, the key to interpreting a reality that is beyond us.
