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.

纽约时报畅销书 * 普利策奖决赛入围者和突破性畅销书《那里那里》(《纽约时报书评》《纯粹翱翔的美丽》)的作者,为他已经经典的第一部小说提供了精彩的续作。
汤米·奥兰治 (Tommy Orange) 将他的叙述群延伸到过去和未来,通过一个家庭的三代人追溯了 1864 年沙溪大屠杀和卡莱尔印第安工业学校的遗产,故事时而破碎,时而奇妙。

这是一部不会被遗忘的杰作,一部将永远成为你一部分的杰作。
” ——摩根·塔尔蒂,畅销书《科罗拉多生机之夜》作者,1864 年。
沙溪大屠杀的年轻幸存者斯塔尔被理查德·亨利带到马里恩堡监狱城堡,在那里他被迫学习英语并信奉基督教。

一代人之后,斯塔的儿子查尔斯被送到学校,在那里他遭到了曾经是他父亲的狱卒的残酷虐待。
在普拉特的严厉对待下,查尔斯紧紧抓住他与年轻同学奥帕尔·维奥拉分享的时光,两人憧憬着一个远离沿袭血统的制度暴力的未来。
在这部时而令人震惊、时而奇妙的小说中,汤米·奥兰治召唤了读者在《那里那里》中最初爱上的家庭的祖先——战士、酒鬼、亡命之徒、瘾君子——询问作为这个国家的子孙意味着什么。
