In their only fully collaborative literary work, Louise Erdich and Michael Dorris have written a gripping novel of history, suspense, recovery and new beginnings.
'The Crown of Columbus' 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 - on their quest for the truth about Christopher Columbus and themselves.
When Vivian uncovers what is presumed to be the lost diary of Columbus, she a 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.
A rollicking tale of adventure, it is also a contemporary love story and a tender examination of parenthood and passion.
