- Summary:
- A remarkable debut by a writer not yet 30, Little tells a story as starkly beautiful and dramatic as the Minnesota landscape where it is set. The novel opens in 1980, with the funeral of an eight-year-old boy named Little, and moves back in time as members of the boy's extended Native American family tell his story, as well as their own. What results is a stirring testament to the power of the human spirit in the face of prejudice, poverty, and loss.
