All Good People Here

Can someone summarize the story for those of us who read it early in the summer?

From Amazon: Thomas Wazhashk is the night watchman at the jewel bearing plant, the first factory located near the Turtle Mountain Reservation in rural North Dakota. He is also a Chippewa Council member who is trying to understand the consequences of a new “emancipation” bill on its way to the floor of the United States Congress. It is 1953 and he and the other council members know the bill isn’t about freedom; Congress is fed up with Indians. Since graduating high school, Pixie Paranteau (Patrice) the class valedictorian, has no desire to wear herself down with a husband and kids. She makes jewel bearings at the plant, a job that barely pays her enough to support her mother and brother. But Patrice needs every penny to find Vera and her child in Minnesota that introduces her to unexpected forms of exploitation and violence, and endangers her life.

From Kellie Oydna: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. It written as correspondence between an author, her publisher and people on the island of Guernsey about the German occupation during WWII. It is a really interesting read as you have to jump right into the letters not really knowing anything but eventually everything becomes clear. It's entertaining, creative and informative.

From Amazon: Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala’s long-existing Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. From this unforgettable new beginning, the young girl—and future matriarch, known as Big Ammachi—will witness unthinkable changes over the span of her extraordinary life, full of joy and triumph as well as hardship and loss, her faith and love the only constants.
