The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (National Book Award Winner)

Match Book reads this as funny in feel and moderate, sitting at the balanced end of the scale. It resolves bittersweet.

Its central concerns are coming of age, identity, friendship.

Set recent past in small town, told first person single. On reach it lands at well known — worth knowing if you're deliberately hunting hidden gems rather than the books everyone has already read.
