In this stunning and timely novel, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich creates a wickedly funny ghost story, a tale of passion, of a complex marriage, and of a woman's relentless errors.

The Sentence begins on All Souls' Day 2019 and ends on All Souls' Day 2020.  Its mystery and proliferating ghost stories during this one year propel a narrative as rich, emotional, and profound as anything Louise Erdrich has written.

"Strange, enchanting, and funny: The Sentence is a work about motherhood, doom, regret and the magic of words on paper." -- New York Times
