About This Book
A love triangle made up of the narrator, an authority on the vanishing A-- tribe, his wife Edith, one of the last surviving members of the tribe, and their maniacal and domineering friend, F - who may or may not exist - are united by their obsessions and fascination with a seventeenth-century Mohawk saint, Kateri Tekakwitha.
