Few books have managed to depict, dissect and encompass, in vivid, crude detail, the numerous vicissitudes and hurdles inherent to the immigration experience (everything that goes into the pursuit of the particularly elusive American dream) -this one does.
Whatever your opinion on the subject, nothing you can imagine comes close to the truth -nothing you've read or heard before can prepare you for the real-life, harrowing situations these people go through.
The semi-autobiographic characters in the story broadly mirror the lives and feelings of the millions of immigrants that come to the United States of America looking to improve their lives, only to realize that what they thought a dream might as well be just a painful myth. This novel will move you -push you, rather- in the right direction toward the discovery of all the reasons behind this choice -and all the reasons why it may, ultimately, not be as good an idea as many of us think.
