He looked off, out of the living-room window, across the street, or father, off to where the sun had set, or past that, back at his life maybe, and then he got this look in his eyes, it was something Dene had seen in his mom's eyes, something that looked like remembering and dressing at once.
I lost track of the characters a bit in the last third of the book but it didn't change the fact that all of them felt incredibly real.
Something about it will make sense. The bullets have been coming from miles. Years. Their sound will break the water in our bodies, tear sound itself, rip out lives in half. There tragedy of it all will be unspeakable, the fact we've been fighting for decades to be recognized as a present-tense people, modern and relevant, alive, only to die in the grass wearing feathers.
