The Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina Henríquez

This was a work read for me, but I’m glad to have read it. While this is a story of Mexican and Panamanian immigrants living in Delaware, it’s also about family, friendship, and love. Cristina Henríquez’s writing is compelling and brings her characters’ stories to life, running the gamut from funny to heartbreaking. I liked the multi-POV structure, though I wish that Maribel had also been allowed a voice in the narrative. Liked it.
