Perhaps Erdrich will return to them in a later book.ĭot, who is not-quite-divorced from the imprisoned Gerry Nanapush, becomes the fifth Mrs. How wives three and four intertwine their lives with Jack, the baby and each other would make a fascinating novel by itself. Their marriage is a kind of accident, too, and its most significant event is the conception of their son, John. They meet when Jack literally rearranges her face through a misguided attempt at CPR after Marlis is hurt in a freak accident. Marlis is the type who hides tequila bottles in the ladies’ room toilet tank. 4 is Marlis, a so-so lounge singer and hotshot blackjack dealer. Their liaison is a blending of opposites that cannot last. 3 is Candice, a dentist, as steely and scary as the stainless drills she grips in her well-manicured fingers. Daughter of a trapeze artist, stepdaughter of a mortician, Eleanor is a teacher who makes love to a student and a student of sainthood who comes under the spell of an ancient, holy nun. Next is Eleanor, a brilliant and beautiful woman who is as headstrong and hard-nosed as Jack.
