{"product_id":"native-book-mike-sparrow-9781432835903","title":"Native","description":"NATIVE is a powerful and rich historical novel dealing with the formation of a vast nation, Atlantic to Pacific. It focuses on the Sioux as they are being overpowered by European settlers. The novel brilliantly contrasts the communal beliefs and well-being of native people and the reckless and heedless aggrandizement of Europeans unmoored from religion and civility. The power of the novel lies in this exploration of heart and soul as natives and Europeans clash. Mr. Sparrow brings the gift of intensive research to his story, which steadily guides the reader through history. This is historical fiction on a grand scale, written by an author who mastered an epoch. It is an important novel as well as a riveting one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e--\u003cb\u003eRichard S.
