I recommend the book highly on many dimensions. Tommy Orange is a powerful Native American novelist in modernist literary tradition. He captures the inner voices of his characters.

I have one question: Who is Manny and what role did he play in the chain of events leading to Octavio becoming a drug dealer and plant the robbery that triggered the shootings?

Heartbreaking and so important to witness the threads of history.

This book is real and gritty and brings to light the issues facing modern day Native Americans. I loved the short story format. The writing was straightforward and the author did a good job carrying the theme through all the different characters.

Th author purposely leaves a lot of story lines unresolved. I anticipate that this book will spark a great discussion at your book club meetings.
