Resumen del Editor
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The Pulitzer Prize-finalist and author of the breakout bestseller There There delivers a masterful follow-up to his already classic first novel. Extending his constellation of narratives into the past and future, Tommy Orange traces the legacies of the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 and the Carlisle Indian Industrial School through three generations of a family in a story that is by turns shattering and wondrous.
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 Richard Henry Pratt, an evangelical prison guard who will go on to found the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, an institution dedicated to the eradication of Native history, culture, and identity. A generation later, Star’s son, Charles, is sent to the school, where he is brutalized by the man who was once his father’s jailer. Under Pratt’s harsh treatment, Charles clings to moments he shares with a young fellow student, Opal Viola, as the two envision a future away from the institutional violence that follows their bloodlines.
In a novel that is by turns shattering and wondrous, Tommy Orange has conjured the ancestors of the family readers first fell in love with in There There—warriors, drunks, outlaws, addicts—asking what it means to bethe children and grandchildren of massacre. Wandering Stars is a novel about epigenetic and generational trauma that has the force and vision of a modern epic, an exceptionally powerful new book from one of the most exciting writers at work today and soaring confirmation of Tommy Orange’s monumental gifts.
Interview: With "Wandering Stars," Tommy Orange delivers a stunning follow-up to his breakout debut

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

1917. On a battlefield near the River Escaut, John lies in the aftermath of a blast, unable to move or feel his legs. Struggling to focus his thoughts, he is lost to memory as the snow falls—a chance encounter in a pub by a railway, a hot bath with his lover on a winter night. 1920. John has returned from war to North Yorkshire, near a different river. He is alive but still not whole. Reunited with Helena, an artist, he reopens his photography business and tries to keep on living. But the past erupts insistently into the present, as ghosts begin to surface in his pictures

“Sadie Smith” is how the narrator introduces herself to her lover, to the rural commune of French subversives on whom she is keeping tabs, and to the listener. Sadie has met her love, Lucien, a young and well-born Parisian, by “cold bump”—making him believe the encounter was accidental. Like everyone Sadie targets, Lucien is useful to her and used by her. Sadie operates by strategy and dissimulation, based on what her “contacts”—shadowy figures in business and government—instruct. First, these contacts want her to incite provocation. Then they want more.

Historia
An unexpected tragedy at a community pool. A family’s unrelenting expectation of victory. The desire to gain or lose control; to make time speed up or stop; to be frighteningly, undeniably good at something. Each of the eight teenage girl boxers in this blistering debut novel has her own reasons for the sacrifices she has made to come to Reno, Nevada, to compete to be named the best in the country.

Historia
One evening, as a young boy growing up in Benghazi, Khaled hears a bizarre short story read aloud on the radio, about a man being eaten alive by a cat, and has the sense that his life has been changed forever. Obsessed by the power of those words—and by their enigmatic author, Hosam Zowa—Khaled eventually embarks on a journey that will take him far from home, to pursue a life of the mind at the University of Edinburgh. There, thrust into an open society that is miles away from the world he knew in Libya, Khaled begins to change.

Historia
In 2011, three successful and highly educated women fell head over heels for the brilliant and charming Ethan Schuman. Unbeknownst to the others, each exchanged countless messages with Ethan, staying up late into the evenings to deepen their connections with this fascinating man. His detailed excuses about broken webcams and complicated international calling plans seemed believable, as did last minute trip cancellations. After all, why would he lie? Ethan wasn't after money—he never convinced his marks to shell out thousands of dollars for some imagined crisis.

Historia
Over seven decades, from 1940 to 2010, the pieds-noirs Cassars live in an itinerant state—separated in the chaos of World War II, running from a complicated colonial homeland, and, after Algerian independence, without a homeland at all. This Strange Eventful History, told with historical sweep, is above all a family story: of patriarch Gaston and his wife Lucienne, whose myth of perfect love sustains them and stifles their children; of François and Denise, devoted siblings connected by their family's strangeness; of François's union with Barbara; of Chloe, the result of that union.

Beautiful
This book was like reading poetry to me. Sometimes I didn’t understand it but the words and thoughts stayed with me and wandered through me just like our stars.

Beautiful writing and performance of realistic native family saga
I loved this book and the story it tells of inter generational trauma in a native family in an unsparing but loving way giving the most in depth voice to the youngest generations. Each reader in this audible version did an excellent job and added depth to the story. Also from the little I have personally seen/ experienced of loved ones struggling for sobriety over time I felt that part of the narrative was compassionate and realistic (but didn’t overwhelm other important aspects of the story including each generations connection to their native identity. .

Honest Feelings
The portrayal of life stories depicting how each person got to where they were seemed well thought out. The boys appear to slowly succumb to addiction. All of the United States belonged to indigenous peoples. Actually, all of the world belonged to someone else first.

The swirling streams of consciousness felt akin to my own, if I had the talent to put them into words others could comprehend.
Thank you, Tommy, for providing another opportunity for others to expand their understanding of the history of the people of Oakland and our shared existence.

Truth
the story was heartbreaking and told of generational pain that's carried through. it's amazing our life choices and how they have an impact not only on ourselves but on our children and grandchildren. what the native people experienced and the pain they had to go through, it's nothing short of genocide. no matter how many tears I shed I don't think we will ever understand the pain. the readers did a beautiful job of conveying the hurt and pain and misery and ache. it was a truly unique story of generations and how our pain gets brought down to others and how each person tries to survive. I highly recommend

The Pain of living, especially as a Native in this country.
This book describes so much that I know nothing about. I appreciate that. It seems like two books but I think the author wants us to understand how much of the past is in our present.
Beautiful writing too.

Importance of home
I loved this book…read it and listened to it. Listening to it was a
deeply emotional and enlightening experience, both personally and in a broader universal way.

The life of Opal. How she took on someone else's responsibilities and had a hard life because of it.
My only dislike was the chapter blending the beginning story to There, There. It felt a bit forced.

Universal in it’s reach
I think anyone open to listening feels the message is book is trying to present. The very beginning brought up many primordial memories I’ve had from childhood. A must read for numerous reasons and will present to the reader what they need to hear.
