It's been decades since I read
The Beet Queen and, as I suspected, that novel seems not to be available as an ebook currently. I wanted to reread it after I reread Erdrich's
Paris Review interview because of what she says about writing it.
However, I especially liked
A Plague of Doves -- which
is available as an ebook -- and would recommend that novel to people who no longer buy physical books.
Also: People who might be inclined to dismiss Erdrich as lit-fic and therefore snobbish should note she has written at least one YA novel (I haven't scrutinized her bibliography and am writing from memory, so there might be more):
The Birchbark House.
