This book talks about immigration issues in the U.S., but what stands out is how the author expresses her strong disagreement with immigration laws. Instead of presenting facts, she seems focused on blaming a clear villain, making it hard…

I felt it did not adequately describe the content.

Required reading for those in the Americas, imo. It actually deals more with the time/policies under Obama, but also gets into the Trump administration a bit too. Her book made me think, made me cry, & even made me have a tiny, tiny bit…

This book made me think, made me feel, and made me question as so many important books do. This book is important. Another reason why #ownvoices authors being published are so necessary.

Not enough words to explain how I feel about this stunning testament about the aftermath of the unaccompanied minors border crisis that took place in 2014. It left me helpless and outraged. If we can read it, understand it, reflect on it,…

While herself waiting for a Green Card, Luiselli volunteers as an interpreter for children who have arrived in the US alone from Central America. There were 102,000 such children in the April 2014 to August 2015 period. She uses the…

This is an important book about what is happening in America right now. Luiselli is showing herself to be a magnanimous writer. Her writing is clear and concise. She is doing what she can to point up how Americans and non-Americans live in…

A mediocre essay by a great novelist.
