Wandering Stars, a companion book to his earlier There, There, begins at the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864, and spans nearly 200 years, culminating in the devastating events at the heart of the earlier book. It's a devastating epic novel, tracing one Native American family's history of appalling treatment by a variety of authorities over that time. It takes in dispossession, oppression, racism, while also being tender and human. It's an incredibly well-conceived book, brilliantly written and structured, moving and hopeful. One of the best things I've read in some time.
