The Affairs of the Falcóns by Melissa Rivero

4.0

There were times when I felt annoyed by the protagonist and all the odds stacked against her, but it feels blasphemous to even admit that. The writing was light and direct, honest and easy; the story was compelling, sad, and important. About an undocumented Peruvian mama’s journey to keep her family together and build a better life in NYC, I finished it in a day. Very reminiscent of Lisa Ko’s writing. Recommend.
