Like most of Erdrich's other works, The Round House is set on an Ojibwe reservation in North Dakota. The Round House follows the story of Joe Coutts, a 13-year-old boy who is frustrated with the poor investigation into his mother's gruesome attack and sets out to find his mother's attacker with the help of his best friends, Cappy, Angus, and Zack. The Round House is Erdrich's 14th novel and is part of her "justice trilogy" of novels, which includes The Plague of Doves released in 2008 and LaRose in 2016. Teens and adults smoke cigarettes and consume alcohol to excess - including drinking and driving - and teens smoke a joint in one scene.The Round House is a novel by the American writer Louise Erdrich first published on Octoby HarperCollins. There's also a disturbing scene in which a young woman does a very sexual strip tease for an old man and a teenager.
Teens in the book think about sex a lot they masturbate, and one teen boy has sex with his girlfriend. There's also prejudice against Native Americans and plenty of profanity (including "s-t," "bulls-t," "dick," "cock," "p-y," "twat," and "f-k") and talk about sex. Parents of teen readers should be advised that The Round House includes rape and murder, violent beatings, and violence against women. The story is narrated by 13-year-old Joe, whose coming-of-age challenges are magnified by other painful experiences. The plot also digs into legal and cultural obstacles Native Americans face. It's a rich, complex, and breathtaking novel with a teen narrator but adult content, as it deeply explores rape survival - for both the victim and her family. Parents need to know that Louise Erdrich's The Round House won the National Book Award for fiction in 2012. Teens get drunk and vomit or sleep it off they also drink while driving.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Drinking, Drugs & Smoking in your kid's entertainment guide.
