I’m not typically a nonfiction reader, but this book was fantastic. Urrea’s narrative structure is gripping and informative in a way that does not feel overly-academic. Oftentimes, immigration is viewed as a rather amorphous and political concept, but this book cuts to the heart and humanity of the process. It has definitely inspired me to explore more literature in this genre.
