"How do you rewrite the story of a people? This question shapes Tommy Orange's sorrowful, beautiful debut novel... Even in its tragic details, it is lyrical and playful, shaking and shimmering with energy."
The Guardian

Dene Oxendene, pulling his life together after his uncle’s death and working at the powwow to honor his memory. Fourteen-year-old Orvil, coming to perform traditional dance for the very first time. They converge and collide on one fateful day at the Big Oakland Powwow and together this chorus of voices tells of the plight of the urban Native American—grappling with a complex and painful history, with an inheritance of beauty and spirituality, with communion and sacrifice and heroism.
A book with“so much jangling energy and brings so much news from a distinct corner of American life that it’s a revelation” (The New York Times).
