'I couldn't put it down. I'll never stop thinking about it' Ann Patchett 'One hell of a novel about a good woman on the run with her beautiful boy' Stephen King FEAR KEEPS THEM RUNNING. HOPE KEEPS THEM ALIVE. Vivid, visceral, utterly compelling, AMERICAN DIRT is the first novel to explore the experience of attempting to illegally cross the US-Mexico border. Described as 'A Grapes of Wrath for our times' (Don Winslow) it is a story that will leave you utterly changed. Yesterday, Lydia had a bookshop. Yesterday, Lydia was married to a journalist. Yesterday, she was with everyone she loved most in the world. Today, her eight-year-old son Luca is all she has left. For him, she will carry a machete strapped to her leg. For him, she will leap onto the roof of a high speed train. For him, she will find the strength to keep running.

Esse livro foi muito difícil de navegar, no sentido de que há tanto sofrimento, tanta dor e injustiça e que há no mundo, nesse momento, tanta gente que não dá a mínima pela dor do outro, principalmente no el norte do Sr. Doritos. Essas pessoas que deveriam ler esse livro e refletir mas, infelizmente, essa é uma improbabilidade, já que essas pessoas são justamente aquelas que não lêem, não refletem, não se comovem, pois o ódio é um inquilino espaçoso.
