A review by bibliobethica
The Affairs of the Falcóns by Melissa Rivero

4.0

Ana is a complex, well-developed character. Through her experiences and thoughts, the reader can feel her emotions. The plight of the undocumented immigrant is something most of us can imagine enduring. Ana's story is one of hope, but with many struggles along the way. Most of the novel was compelling, however, I would have like to see the other family members' thoughts and motives explored more deeply. A perfect nominee for the Aspen Words Prize for "illuminating a vital contemporary issue" - immigration.
