**LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2024** **THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** '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.
