There there, by Tommy Orange

 

I loved this book about twelve Native Americans who are coming together in Oakland, CA, for a powwow. In chapters that rotate between the many characters, we learn their histories and how they are related to one another. Each of them has a role to play in the climax which revolves around an attempted robbery of the cash prizes available for dancing and other powwow competitions. The writing is wonderful, the characters are compelling, and the plotting is meticulous as the characters all come together for the final scenes. This was my book club's December pick, and I can't wait to discuss it with the other members.
