The Affairs of the Falcóns by Melissa Rivero
4.0
📕What would a mother do? ... when home country is not safe enough, immigration of the new country she moves wouldn’t let her be, money is tight and those golden opportunities never come her way. She fights for it, fights for her kids; but she might failed to see there is more to her family than her children

📗This story is largely about a family and their struggle with immigration: their status back home vs. in the US, jobs they could do back home vs. in the US, etc... but it has more to it. It also gives hints about the “caste” system in Peru: how some families from the capital city with lighter skin are consider themselves more powerful and more important than families from other cities with darker skin. The mother in point 1 also fights against her husband’s family and their belittling acts

📘It was very real, observable story that you can find in all parts New York as you walk on the streets. You will find these faces on the very same streets. Now, go and read!
