SYNOPSIS
In their only fully collaborative literary work, Michael Dorris & Louise Erdrich have written a gripping novel of history, suspense, recovery, & new beginnings. The Crown of Columbuschronicles the adventures of a pair of mismatched lovers--Vivian Twostar, a divorced, pregnant anthropologist, & Roger Williams, a consummate academic, epic poet, & bewildered father of Vivian's baby--on their quest for the truth about Christopher Columbus & themselves. When Vivian uncovers what is presumed to be the most diary of Christopher Columbus, she & 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 & death that threatens--and finally changes--their lives. A rollicking tale of adventure, The Crown of Columbus is also contemporary love story & a tender examination of parenthood & passion.
