This article relates to The Game of Silence
When asked
what inspired her to write these
books, Erdrich says, "My mother
and sister did research that led
our family back to Madeline
Island. Standing on the shores
of Lake Superior, I have
wondered whether my ancestors
stood in the same place, saw the
same scene, heard the same
sounds --- the high-pitched cry
of the flicker or the white
throated sparrow's song. It was
natural to want to write about
the past, for me, and it came
from the heart."
She lives in Minnesota with her
children, who help her run a
small independent bookstore
called The Birchbark.
This "beyond the book article" relates to The Game of Silence. It originally ran in August 2005 and has been updated for the
