There is so much going on in this book about the generational trauma of America's genocidal history, about the inability to erase the past, and about living with the rage of having everything taken from an entire people. It would be so much harder to get through if the sentence to sentence writing weren't so masterful and beautiful.

But I have to be honest, a couple of the late game plot developments had me scratching my head. I accept that the author had plans and intents that I'm just not getting, but... Well, I'm not getting them. The conclusion struck me as almost comical, honestly. But the fact that I'm still trying to ponder through rather than dismissing speaks to the ring of truth I still sense. It's worth mulling.
