Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea

4.0

This is the 2012 Community Read for Kalamazoo. It is a good entry level book for those interested in thinking more about immigration and the relationship between Mexico and the United States. The writing can be quite funny. He tells the story of Nayeli, a young woman from a small town in Mexico who realizes that all the men of the town have gone 'north' to find work and new lives. She, and her motley crew, head to the US to find the men and bring them back to the village. Good story.
