Shadow tag

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.

  • "Quand Irene America découvre que son mari, Gil, lit son journal intime, elle en commence un autre qu'elle met en lieu sûr. C'est dans ce nouveau carnet qu'elle livre sa vérité sur son mariage et sur sa vie tandis qu'elle utilise l'ancien pour se venger de son mari et s'amuser à ses dépens. Gil est devenu un artiste célèbre en peignant le portrait d'Irene sous de nombreuses formes, et il réalise que la peur de la perdre le contraint à se dépasser.Irene termine sa thèse sur George Catlin, le peintre des Indiens, qui a sillonné l'Ouest américain au début du XIXe siècle. Tandis qu'ils tentent de maintenir les apparences pour leurs trois enfants, leur foyer devient un endroit de plus en plus violent et secret. Irene décide de mettre fin à son mariage et à une relation de dépendance étrange et ironique, plutôt que de céder à l'autodestruction. Alternant entre les deux journaux intimes d'Irene et un récit à la troisième personne, Louise Erdrich explore la nature complexe de l'amour, les lignes fluides de l'identité et le combat d'une famille pour sa survie."
