About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Discover the story of a Native American community told through the generations, from the author of the New York Times bestseller There There.

Following its unforgettable characters through almost two centuries of history, from the horrors of the Sand Creek Massacre of 1865 to the aftermath of a mass shooting in 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 many generations of a Native American family, struggling to find ways through displacement, addiction and pain, towards home and hope.

Listeners of Orange's classic debut There There will know some of these characters and will be eager to learn what happened to Orvil Red Feather after the Oakland Powwow. New listeners will discover a wondrous novel of poetry, music, rage and love, from one of the most astonishing voices of his generation.

Least they be forgotten. Read it, learn, be humble. Imparts a level of understanding and awareness of a history that is at risk of being forgotten as a consequence of state driven genocide. Story telling at its most powerful. 🤎

Incredibly moving story of generational trauma and triumph

Extremely well written book with lots of insight and very well narrated but personally did not enjoy with vivid Interest. I think it’s more down to personal liking and not related to quality of the book.

Well written and narrated but not for me

Everything that makes perfect literature is here. Compelling characters, verisimilitude, sense of place, riveting plot, significance, depth, and, above all, the writing is outstanding.

Extraordinary, magnificent

Very good story but hard to listen to how much the native Americans have been impacted by the colonialism of America. Even harder to accept that they, like many other indigenous people suffer from their heritage and culture being almost almost removed from today’s narrative.

A cultural narrative that needs to be heard
