‘Wandering Stars is the kind of book that saves lives’ Kaveh Akbar, author of Martyr!

A heart-rending story of a Native American community told through the generations

Following the arc of two centuries, from the horrors of the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 to the early 21st century, Wandering Stars is an indelible novel of America’s war on its own people.

It is also the tender, shattering story of several generations of a Native American family, searching for ways through displacement and pain, towards home and hope: a wondrous novel of poetry, music, rage and love, from one of the most astonishing voices of his generation.

‘No one knows how to express tenderness and yearning like Tommy Orange’ Louise Erdrich, author of The Night Watchman
