Reviews
Winner of the American Book Award, the Reading the West Book Award, and the Western Writers of American Spur Award for Best Novel of the West "Boldly drawn and passionate." --Louise Erdrich, author of The Sentence "Spare, tough-minded and big hearted."-- USA Today "Dreamy and lyrical, frequently achieving a shimmering beauty." -- The Oregonian "A fever of a story, keenly fighting for air and answers." -- San Francisco Chronicle "It''s not just erotic desire that [Earling] does so well. . . . Louise''s world is one in which all the senses are always on hyper-alert. . . . This young girl''s struggle to save her own life makes for a novel that has you on hyper-alert as you read: alive, alive to the world it conjures." --Alan Cheuse, NPR "Haunting and memorable . . . Earling''s deliberate pacing gives an otherworldly feel to the grim circumstances of the time, and makes real the hypnotic effect of this slim, green-eyed woman on the men around her." -- Seattle Times "Beautifully written . . . Establishes Earling as the literary heir to great American Indian writers such as James Welch and Louise Erdrich."-- Minneapolis Star Tribune "A new writer comes straight at us out of the West, bypassing the conscious mind in describing her world of Indian reservations, so that we almost smell that world before we understand it. . . . [Earling''s] writing is the most physical I have read in a long time. . . . Verbs and adjectives dance in new configurations. All this and plot too." --Los Angeles Times "Earling is a talent to treasure. . . . Beauty lies in [her] writing. Her words are spare, like the landscape and the bleak hearts of those who judge and torment Louise. Her words are sharp, biting, like the snakes that slither through the tale. Her words are honed to bare Louise''s wounds."-- Billings Gazette "A haunting tale of persecution, brutality and prejudice . . . paint[ing] a powerful picture of man''s inhumanity to man--one as dark and uncaring as Montana''s midnight landscapes."-- Texas Observer "Superb . . . A love story of uncommon depth and power, a love story that is as painful as it is transcendent, a love story in which the lovers . . . are unwilling to diminish themselves in the act of joining together but are equally unable to turn away." --Booklist "Poignant . . . Earling offers first-rate characterizations, and she does an equally fine job portraying tribal life in the Flatland Nation." --Publishers Weekly " Perma Red is a startlingly spiritual novel of the lives and loves and heartbreak on a Montana Indian reservation. The characters, especially the strangely destructive lovers, Louise and Baptiste, are so sharply drawn that they will bring tears to your eyes. And the landscape, the richly detailed backdrop against which these characters play out their roles, adds a dimension that borders on mythic. Debra Magpie Earling is a truly gifted writer, and Perma Red is a wonder-filled gift to all of us." --James Welch, author of Fools Crow "In the deep wells of compassion for her people, and with her stunning eye for the rituals of their existence, Earling reminds us that the greatest writing is always about matters of the human heart." --Larry Brown, author of Joe " Perma Red is a terrific novel, tough-minded, gritty, and powerful . . . rich with stories of such elemental truth that they have the resonance of sacred songs, the lingering effect of legends. I haven''t read a novel that affected me this much since I first encountered Leslie Silko''s Ceremony ." --James Crumley, author of The Last Good Kiss "With Perma Red , Debra Magpie Earling finally steps forward after two decades and delivers a book as permanently beautiful as the Montana landscape itself. I find it hard, if not impossible, to shake Earling''s book from my mind. To paraphrase another Big Sky writer, Norman Maclean, I am haunted by words." --David Abrams, author of Fobbit, Winner of the AmericanBook Award, the Reading the West Book Award, and the Western Writers ofAmerican Spur Award for Best Novel of the West "Boldly drawn and passionate." --LouiseErdrich, author of The Sentence "Spare, tough-minded and big hearted."-- USAToday "Dreamy and lyrical, frequently achieving ashimmering beauty." -- The Oregonian "A fever of a story, keenly fighting for airand answers." -- San Francisco Chronicle "It''s not just erotic desire that [Earling]does so well. . . .

Synopsis
Bold, passionate, and more urgent than ever, Debra Magpie Earling's powerful classic novel is reborn in this new edition. On the Flathead Indian Reservation, summer is ending, and Louise White Elk is determined to forge her own path. Raised by her Grandmother Magpie after the death of her mother, Louise and her younger sister have grown up into the harsh social and physical landscape of western Montana in the 1940s, where Native people endure boarding schools and life far from home. As she approaches adulthood, Louise hopes to create an independent life for herself and an improved future for her family--but three persistent men have other plans. Since childhood, Louise has been pursued by Baptiste Yellow Knife, feared not only for his rough-and-tumble ways, but also for the preternatural gifts of his bloodline. Baptiste's rival is his cousin, Charlie Kicking Woman: a man caught between worlds, torn between his duty as a tribal officer and his fascination with Louise. And then there is Harvey Stoner. The white real estate mogul can offer Louise her wildest dreams of freedom, but at what cost? As tensions mount, Louise finds herself trying to outrun the bitter clutches of winter and the will of powerful men, facing choices that will alter her life--and end another's--forever.
