The Bingo Palace, by Louise Erdrich:
It’s all about luck. The luck of striving, of familial bonds, of natural and supernatural intervention. Thus literary novel THE BINGO PALACE interweaves fiery human passion with age-old Chippewa magic, sews it onto harsh northern prairie reality, and adorns it with brightly colored beads of hope, love, and compassion. But young, anchorless Lipsha Morrissey knows the game has been fixed when his grandmother lures him back to the reservation and into a quest for romantic love and spiritual clarity that can only end in tragedy tempered by a miracle. Once again, life comes full circle.
