Considered to be one of the most popular novels of this year is the Book by Tommy Orange called There There. It is known by many people and often they will say that if you haven’t read the book, then you’re ‘not there’ yet.

Word of mouth has done wonders for this book with many picking up the book on recommendations from others. Even the New York Times has headlined their review of the book with the words “Yes, Tommy Orange’s New Novel Really Is That Good”

Now we’ll go into the book. There There is fictional novel revolving around the lives of American Indians based in Oakland, California. These Indians are considered to be Urban Indians.

Each chapter is interestingly written with the voice of a different character in each chapter. Orange is able to write characters with amazingly complex relationships. They all are individual and interact with each other culminating in their coming together at Oakland powwow.

Powwow is a meeting of people that identify as Indians. With the merging of races, many of Indian heritage find it hard to fully identify as Authentic Indians.

The story moves onto how hard it is for these characters to truly understand their identities and to know where they belong.

The book is beautifully written with a huge range of emotions, tragedy and laughs.
