The Crown of Columbus -- Louise Erdrich

<p><strong>"A thriller and love story. . . . A mediation on power and betrayal. . . . An exhilarating novel of risk, redemption and discovery." -- <em>Los Angeles Times</em></strong></p> <p><strong>In their only fully collaborative literary work, Michael Dorris and Louise Erdrich have written a gripping novel of history, suspense, recovery, and new beginnings. <em>The Crown of Columbus</em> chronicles the adventures of a pair of mismatched lovers--Vivian Twostar, a divorced, pregnant anthropologist, and Roger Williams, a consummate academic, epic poet, and bewildered father of Vivian's baby--and their quest for the truth about Christopher Columbus and themselves. </strong></p><p> When Vivian uncovers what is presumed to be the diary of Christopher Columbus, she and Roger are drawn into a journey from icy New Hampshire to the idyllic Caribbean in search of "the greatest treasure of Europe." Lured by the wild promise of redeeming the past, they are plunged into a harrowing race against time and death that threatens--and finally changes--their lives.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Louise Erdrich, Michael Dorris<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Perennial<br><b>Published:</b> 03/03/1999<br><b>Pages:</b> 400<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.65lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.40h x 4.96w x 0.98d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780060931650<p></p>
