LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2024 THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER & NOTABLE BOOKS OF THE YEAR PICK 2024 A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 AN OBSERVER BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 '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 Colorado, 1864. Star, a young survivor of the Sand Creek Massacre, is brought to the Fort Marion prison castle where he is forced to learn English and practice Christianity by an evangelical prison guard, who will go on to found the Carlisle Indian Industrial school, dedicated to the eradication of Native history, culture and identity. Years later, Star's son, Charles, is sent to this school, where he is brutalised by the same man. Together with fellow student Opal Viola, Charles envisions a future far away from the institutional violence that follows their bloodlines. Full of poetry music, rage and love, Wandering Stars, looks to the past and future across the generations of the Bear Shield and Red Feather family, finding their way through displacement and pain, towards home and hope. 'This novel is alive' Tess Gunty 'A towering achievement' New York Times 'As vital as air' Guardian
