The Tortilla Curtain
by T.C. Boyle
The Tortilla Curtain offers rich metaphor after rich metaphor as the walls go up around a gated community in southern California. I know a book is working its way into my heart and mind when I find myself drifting off to sleep and am startled awake discovering that I was praying for the characters. For anyone who cares about the issues surrounding immigration this book shows the humans on both sides of the fence for what they are--Human. Beautiful, flawed, struggling humans.
