There There is heartbreaking, vivid, and contains the most well-executed multiple points of view that I have ever read. Each individual character is fully-formed with their own voice and personal history. In the scope of the novel, they all experience the full spectrum of human emotion: dissociation, strength, desperation, fear, pride, violence, passion, shame, resistance, joy, love... All of these feelings are universal. However, the way that Orange has centered these feelings within multiple Urban Indian identities is wholly unique. - Unique not only to this book but unique to each character and their own distinct connections to their culture.

Though the strength of this novel is definitely in the characterization, the plot is also unforgettable. The events of this novel are emotional, tense, and dark. Be sure to check the content warnings before reading There There.
