Louise Erdrich

Boy Lazarre is another young half-blood man. His family is known for being paid to spy, and Boy is the first to confirm that Eli and Fleur are romantically involved. After he witnesses their coupling, his speech is twisted, evidence that Fleur has put a spell on him as punishment. He and Clarence kidnap Margaret and Nanapush in revenge for the damage they’ve done to Sophie Morrissey’s reputation. He dies as a result of another spell put on him by Fleur.

I didn’t understand until Lazarre slouched and Clarence stood before Margaret, that this had to do with everything. The land purchase. Politics. Eli and Sophie. It was like seeing an ugly design of bruises come clear for a moment and reconstructing the evil blows that made them. Clarence would take revenge for Eli’s treatment of his sister by treating Eli’s mother in similar fashion.
