   Is 'the Round House' better than 'the plague of doves'?

   • If “The Round House” is less sweeping and symphonic than “The Plague of Doves,” it is just as riveting. By boring deeply into one person’s darkest episode, Erdrich hits the bedrock truth about a whole community. Some of the memorable characters last heard from in “The Plague of Doves” reappear.
