A Thousand Moons by Sebastian Barry

Set in the aftermath of the American Civil War, the story follows Winona, a young Lakota orphan adopted by former soldiers Thomas McNulty and John Cole. As she navigates the complexities of her identity and the challenges of a society fraught with prejudice and violence, Winona's journey is one of resilience and self-discovery. Her quest for justice and belonging unfolds against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America, where the scars of war and the struggle for equality shape the lives of those around her. Through her eyes, the narrative explores themes of love, family, and the enduring human spirit.
