A review by reikista
Lucky Boy by Shanthi Sekaran

4.0

This is the story of Solimar Castro Valdez as she makes her way to the US from Oaxaca, and also the story of Kavya and Rishi Reddy, who live in Berkeley and have a loving marriage, but yearn for child. It’s the story of living as an undocumented person in the US, and the story of living as the children of Indian immigrants and being compared to the children of their friends. It’s the story of loving a baby boy, and of who gets to parent him. The writing was good, the relationships complex, and I thouroughly enjoyed the book.
