E ' the story of a desperate love for sacrifice and face the madness. Irene Gil's wife and mother of his three children. Most of all is his (only) because Gil is a model established painter and unstable. They are a great couple, admired and envied, but their marriage has become a cage they love without limits by following "the savagery that existed between them, the necessities." Anything, a debate, a night of sex, a small family issue is expanded on the edge of human tolerance. To survive, he needs the love of many other conditions and they also know that their "infatuation, attraction, sudden fever is in part a surface, a lack of knowledge. Falling in love is when we love most of the things that we know the other person and we can tolerate the defects that can not be changed. " Irene Gil and rather not see their limits, and year after year, among them the tension becomes unbearable. Gil, realizing that Irene keeps a diary might read it for fear of being betrayed. When Irene discovers his intrusion, the advantage of writing stories of lovers who never had. The provocation should serve to get away from Gil, spike the accelerator to the separation and instead triggered a devastating psychological and emotional spiral. The couple slips in that cul de sac where love becomes a cannibalistic ritual. She continued to see in him something "in the midst of all the shit that flew, a smooth and steady flame," as she said then a small and effective witness. He cultivates something that "someone calls her refusal. People joke on, or get to the point of looking down on those who remain stubbornly attached to an idea without hope, especially when it comes to a relationship. Yet in some people's refusal can be seen as something noble. It can be seen as a form of holy madness ". With the innocent children, but not unaware of the witnesses tormentatissima love story, and Irene Gil WILL BE tied to the end, on which, given the evolution of Shadow Step , it is reasonable not to add more. Louise Erdrich writes as if he had a musical score in front, beating up a little rough but steady pace and accurate. Marked by two musical quotations that, not surprisingly, limit the Shadow Step . Joni Mitchell mentioned in passing at the beginning makes it clear just what the general tone. It makes you think that the disks in the background are those of maturity, or Wild Thing Run Fast especially Night Ride Home , the latter also because it presented a Cherokee Louise with the features of Louise Shadow Step and, who knows, maybe the same Louise Erdrich. The mention of Gordon Lightfoot in the finale is much more balanced and explicit. Should be discovered by yourself because it is a kind of symbol in the bottom of a bitter and poignant novel, ingeniously constructed and performed with grace, just writing to say the least exciting. A masterpiece .
