American Dirt

[grownags]

Has anyone else read this?i honestly could not put it down. It's really beautifully written in my opinion with fabulous female and child characters. It's really made me think about migrants and how they are so often dehumanised.
Only thing is I don't know what read now I'm so bereft

I loved this too despite the controversy around it!

Did my realise the controversy until after I’d read it - so glad as I loved it and it is a work of fiction not a journalist piece.

One of my favourites this year.

I loved it too, and have recommended it to loads of people.

I loved it too, it was so suspenseful! Would make a great film.

Great book, hard to put down, totally agree with you all.

I loved it. I sobbed at one point... was so glad I read about the controversy after I'd finished it

Same - it reminded me of the kite runner in that it made something that feels so big and faraway seem so close to home
Also being told from the point of view of women was so good
I Agee I can see it as a fantastic film
Just finished my dark Vanessa which I hated a thinly disguised misery memoir .
