A novel โ€œabout a [Cherokee] familyโ€™s reckoning with loss and injustice...spirited, droll, and as quietly devastating as rain lifting from earth to skyโ€ (Tommy Orange, New York Timesโ€“bestselling author of There, There).

Steeped in Cherokee myths and history, a novel about a family fractured by lossโ€”from National Book Award finalist Brandon Hobson

In the fifteen years since their teenage son, Ray-Ray, was killed in a police shooting, the Echota family has been suspended in private grief. The mother, Maria, increasingly struggles to manage the onset of Alzheimerโ€™s in her husband, Ernest. Their adult daughter, Sonja, leads a life of solitude, punctuated only by spells of dizzying romantic obsession. And their son, Edgar, fled home long ago, turning to drugs to mute his feelings of alienation.

With the familyโ€™s annual bonfire approachingโ€”an occasion marking both the Cherokee National Holiday and Ray-Rayโ€™s deathโ€”Maria attempts to call the family together once more. But as the reunion draws near, each of them feels a strange blurring of the boundary between normal life and the spirit world.

โ€œRich in Cherokee folkloreโ€ (San Francisco Chronicle)

The Removed is โ€œa moving meditation on family, home, and ancestral traumaโ€ (Harperโ€™s Bazaar).

โ€œA marvel. With a few sly gestures, a humble array of piercingly real characters...Brandon Hobson delivers an act of regeneration and solace. You wonโ€™t forget it.โ€ โ€”Jonathan Lethem, bestselling author of The Feral Detective

โ€œMultilayered, emotionally radiant...Highly recommended.โ€ โ€”Library Journal, starred review

โ€œMesmerizing.โ€ โ€”Kirkus Reviews, starred review

โ€œHobson is a master storyteller. . . . This will stay long in readersโ€™ minds.โ€ โ€”Publishers Weekly, starred review
