Coup de coeur (Literature), by Ella

This is a shattering exploration of addiction and generational trauma in Indigenous communities in the United States. Set over 150 years, from the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864 to the modern day, we witness the effects of the prolonged, ongoing violence of colonisation and genocide from the United States' war against its own people. This is both a highly relevant, necessary read, as well as a beautiful tale and a powerful plea for justice. The glimpses of hope and humour beam like stars in the night sky, which will shine ever brighter against the darkness of the world.

'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.
