The Antelope Wife

This was a very tough book to read. It has a disjointed and only slightly linear narrative. It's about a family of Ojibwa Native Americans over multiple generations and their relationships, myths, ancestors, and cultural struggles. The prose is beautiful, but the book is simply hard to follow. I started to get it about halfway through, but it took a lot of concentration. It won the World Fantasy Award in 1999, although there is very little fantasy. It's more like magical realism, but even that is very tempered.
