Through its cast of intergenerational characters, Tommy Orange masterfully brings the reader up to speed on North America’s shared history with First Nations. The raw nature of each character’s journey brings the reader on multiple compelling journeys of a yearning for truth, for connection, and for a future forged by and for the Indigenous community.
With an ending that will make you feel
You’re going to want to sit with this read.
