Yet another fortuitous Library Sale shelves find! I really enjoyed this book. It was a deceptively fast read that had a lot of depth. I really liked how all the characters were capable of doing good and bad things, just like real people. It was fascinating to see the immigrant experience through the eyes of people seeking the current version of the American Dream, and a bonus to see the reflection of those who seem to be living this dream. What’s also striking about this book is the reality behind these dreams - how much it costs, on a psychological level, to attain what we seem to think of as this dream, and how few people can truly bridge that gap without losing SOMETHING. Recommended.
