4.5

A family drama coupled with the traumas of being Native American in post-colonial America. The connections between the characters can be confusing at first, but once you're familiar with the family tree, the relationships blossom into complex, realistic, and nuanced dynamics between an even more dynamic cast of characters. 

My only note is that there is a graphic scene involving SA about halfway through the book.
