Among the most memorialized women in American history, Sacajewea served as interpreter and guide for Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery. In this visionary novel, acclaimed Indigenous author Debra Magpie Earling brings this mythologized figure vividly to life, casting unsparing light on the men who brutalized her and recentering Sacajewea as the arbiter of her own history.

A transformative masterpiece well read
Revisado: 02-19-25
This is a book that unsettles. It challenges and ultimately transforms the reader. The Lost Journals of Sacajewea is not an easy read—but being able to hear it aloud is like listening to a spell unwind. The work ungrounds you in English and language, forcing you to navigate a different rhythm of storytelling if you are accustomed to eurocentric narratives. And it gives you a different way of seeing. That disorientation is part of its brilliance, especially for white European-descended readers who are too accustomed to language reinforcing their perspective rather than shaking it.
This novel demands that you learn its language, step into its world on its terms, and in doing so, it offers something profound: a vision of a land before and during colonization, a perspective often erased or sanitized in historical narratives. It’s a difficult book, yes, but like all great works, the challenge is part of its power. The writing is masterful, the voice unforgettable, and the experience of reading it is one I hope many people take on. The rewards are immense.

Thousands of years ago, Earth's terraforming program took to the stars. On the world they called Nod, scientists discovered alien life - but it was their mission to overwrite it with the memory of Earth. Then humanity's great empire fell, and the program's decisions were lost to time. Aeons later, humanity and its new spider allies detected fragmentary radio signals between the stars. They dispatched an exploration vessel, hoping to find cousins from old Earth. But those ancient terraformers woke something on Nod better left undisturbed. And it's been waiting for them.

Loved this!

A vivid story that shifts through time, perspectives, and even species seamlessly. Great hard scifi without all the best that has to offer. A soon to be classic.

A healing song
Revisado: 05-07-17
Give it a minute to get going. It took me a bit to get into and I was a little wary of the plot of it at first, but then, like half way in, when the magic started, i realized it's a kind of healing song, a map to being different in the world. A horrible, hard thing got healed. Its what should be done with writing.

Ed and Taylor, both aspiring young writers, fall in love during a summer of aimless drinking and partying in their university town of Missoula, Montana. Lonely and looking for love, they connect despite their profound differences: Ed is brooding, ambitious and self-destructive, living in denial of a mysterious tumour spreading from his limbs to his brain. Beautiful Taylor is a pure soul, positive, full of hope and emotional generosity. Their difficult relationship is intense, exciting yet doomed from the start, complicated further when Taylor falls pregnant.

An enrapturing book that will keep you up all night listening. Ed is a neo antihero, with a quick mind and fast wit. A great book if you want some intellectual wanderings with your engaging plot.
