Beautifully written. Showcases the depths of heartache and guilt that come with choosing how to give your children their best opportunity at life. Intimate capture of the longing for a scattered family to be whole again.
"Eventually she'd understand that in matters of migration, even accidental, no option is more moral than another. There is only the path you make. Any other would be just as wrong or right."
Gorgeous writing, compelling storytelling. This novel broke my heart and made it full in turns.

This is another book that goes into the I should have liked this more category.
It wasn't bad but I was never wowed, and worse, the writing kept me at a distance, I never felt invested in the characters' stories that included illegal immigration, alcoholism, poverty, loneliness, fear etc.
It's such a short book, but I found myself opting to do other things rather than return to it.
Many other readers have liked this a lot more, so don't let my lack of enthusiasm put you off.
