This was a powerful and controversial book. The author was accused of cultural appropriation. That aside we learned alot. The novelist had done some excellent research and her description of the Cartel and of the journey of getting over the Mexican-American border was well done. We spent some time talking about Lydia and Javier's relationship which is the central event that is at the foundation of her family's massacre, her escape and the journey for her son, her fellow travelers and herself.
Next month is Love By Roddy Doyle on September 24th via Zoom!
