“A haunting novel about survival and ambition, family and belonging. A meditation on art and life, and one woman's astounding choice amid impossible circumstances. Wild People Quiet is a gripping story with high stakes. It's also a family story, told in lovingly-rendered detail, with the quiet care and precision of the beadworker at its center. Gereaux leaves nothing on the table. Wild People Quiet is a masterful work of historical fiction, echoing into the present day. It is a powerful, moving, and important read, for all of us, and for many years to come.”
