The Sentence is a 2021 novel by Louise Erdrich, a ghost story set in a Minneapolis bookstore from November 2019 to November 2020, during the pandemic and George Floyd protests. It follows Tookie, a Native American woman recently released from prison, who is haunted by the ghost of an annoying customer, Flora, and must unravel the mystery while navigating personal challenges and a year of national turmoil. The book explores themes of grief, racism, addiction, and family, blending humor with profound reflection on what is owed to the living and the dead.
