A beautiful story about trauma and memory, place and storytelling, following a young Native American returning to the Laguna Pueblo reservation after being a prisoner of the Japanese during WW2. A stunning book. Savannah
Tayo, a young Second World War veteran of mixed ancestry, is coming home. But, returning to the Laguna Pueblo Reservation, he finds himself scarred by his experiences as a prisoner of war, and further wounded by the rejection he finds among his own people.
Only by rediscovering the traditions, stories and ceremonies of his ancestors can he start to heal, and find peace.
