Summary: A Stirring Look into a woman's life and heart....
Comment: Perma Red is a disturbing, moving, and intriguing novel. It not only reveals the story of a woman and what she battles internally and socially, it reveals the struggles of people in the throes of culture conflict -- the superstitions and beliefs, the anger and confusion. The narrative unfolds slowly, but dramatically, and it was hard to put the book down. I had to know what happened to Perma Red. Baptiste's hold on her was both upsetting and spell-binding.
This novel is a great read for anyone interested in the struggle facing Native Americans in the last century or in the present, for anyone interested in Montana stories, and for anyone interested in such a woman's personal struggle. It is no wonder it won a 2003 Willa Award from Women Writing the West. Congratulations, Ms. Earling!

Summary: Highly recommended
Comment: Beautifully written first novel. I became very involved with the characters caring about Louise and hoping she would find a way out of her dead end, impoverished life that would also be true to her Indian heritage. That said, I thought the ending had a false feel to it - as if Earling was instructed to wrap up the story and give it a happy ending. I am not so easily persuaded that Baptiste would so easily change his ways and become a gentle kind person from what we knew of his past behavior. I can only believe it would continue be a destructive relationship for Louise.
That said I really enjoyed this novel and hope that it gets more attention. It deserves it. A great read.

Summary: Perma Red review by Debra Earling
Comment: This book is about a young woman who does everything against all odds. She strives to be an original. It taked place on the flathead reservation in a Native tribe. She is opinionated and very independent. Her opinionated mouth often gets into trouble and makes her go through many journeys throughout the book. Many different men in the tribe ask for her hand in marraige but she always refuses... each man who askes is more dangerous then the one before.
