Winner of the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. New York Times Bestseller. Named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post, NPR, CBS Sunday Morning, Kirkus, and more. This is one of those novels that earns every single accolade.
Rooted in the true story of the author’s own grandfather, this sweeping, soulful novel is set in 1953 on the Turtle Mountain Reservation in rural North Dakota. Thomas Wazhashk works the night shift at a jewel bearing plant and serves on the Chippewa Council — and when a so-called “emancipation” bill threatens to strip Native Americans of their land and identity, he carries the fight all the way to Washington, D.C.
Alongside Thomas is Patrice, a young woman of fierce determination and quiet dignity, searching for her missing sister in the dangerous streets of Minneapolis. Their stories weave together with warmth, humor, heartbreak, and a touch of magical realism that feels utterly alive on the page.
This is historical fiction at its most human. It doesn’t lecture — it breathes. You’ll feel the cold North Dakota winters, the hum of the factory floor, the weight of injustice, and the stubborn, beautiful persistence of community.
The kind of book you press into someone’s hands and say, trust me. We keep it on our shelves for exactly that reason.
