The Good Immigrant: 26 Writers Reflect on America by
5.0
I won this book for free through Goodreads Giveaways. Thank you to Goodreads, Little, Brown and Compan, and Nikes Shukla for a copy of the book. As always, an honest review from me.
Like:
- References some current political issues surrounding immigration, but keeps the focus mainly on the people
- The cover: the colors are great - bold, beautiful and eye catching
Love:
- Contains essays from many different people - the variety of perspectives, writing styles and stories makes it well rounded
- Different countries and cultures are well represented
- It’s not just another immigrant story, but we really get to know them as people telling their stories. It’s a privilege to read about their lives.
- Wonderful story telling - that absolutely transports me to the setting
Dislike: —
Wish that:
- I connected with all of the essays - to be clear, I connected with many of them, but not all which is to be expected in a book of essays by many authors
Overall, it was a pleasure to read this book. I’m already recommending it to others. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great book of essays or to read about immigration stories.
