Tierra americana / American Dirt (Spanish Edition) Paperback – January 21, 2020

Gracias por este libro, nos hace poner los pies sobre la tierra, no todo mundo huye solo por querer, las circunstancias de cada país son distintas y obligan a salvar vidas, así como a huir del que creías tu hogar. Una oración por cada persona que tome esta vía y que Dios le acompañe.

I read this in English and got it for my dad to read in Spanish.No lo pude dejar de leer. Todos los miembros de mi familia que lo han leído se lo han devorado. Excelente libro!

A magnificent description of the cruel reality that occurs day by day, not only in Mexico, but also in many other of our latinoamerican countries. Together with the evil of the cartels and mafia demons, shows also the kindness and compassion of good local people who help the immigrants in their tragic journey in search for a better life, which they also have the right to enjoy. I like the details of the narrative, which at the beginning I believed excesive, but as the story progresses I found necessary, important and desirable. A very good novel which brings to light the sad bitterness of those who dare to confront all kind of risks and dangers to pursue the slim possibility of having a better life.

Al recorrer la vida de estos personajes que en tiempo de la lectura es relativamente corto; la realidad de las vivencias y las experiencias descritas hacen de esta lectura un desgarrador relato de una dolorosa realidad para miles de inmigrantes haciendo su travesía.

This is a great fiction novel addressing a global problem, "immigration" , at some points very dramatic and exaggerated but with the only intention of enhance the story. Some critics say it's very racist which I didn't perceive. I do understand why it can be upsetting at not completely analyzing the whole problem and tagging Mexico and other central American countries as narco countries but for the purpose of a fiction novel it's really outstanding

Everyone should read this or something like it to understand

Me encanta, interesante historia desde la primera página
