An extraordinary story of the lengths a mother will go to to save her son, AMERICAN DIRT has sold over a million copies worldwide. Its time to read what youve been missing. Lydia Perez owns a bookshop in Acapulco, Mexico, and is married to a fearless journalist. Luca, their eight-year-old son, completes the picture. But it only takes a bullet to rip them apart. In a city in the grip of a drug cartel, friends become enemies overnight, and Lydia has no choice but to flee with Luca at her side. North for the border... whatever it takes to stay alive. The journey is dangerous - not only for them, but for those they encounter along the way. Who can be trusted? And what sacrifices is Lydia prepared to make. Review. Devastating and timely... its hard to imagine there will be a more urgent or politically relevant novel this year ― Observer.
This book is not simply the great American novel; its the great novel of las Americas. Its the great world novel! This is the international story of our times. Masterful -- Sandra Cisneros. Heartstopping... doesnt let up... you will urge them on, fists clenched ― The Times. Stunning... remarkable... an account of love on the run that will never lose steam ― Vogue. This might be the first book many people read this year... it might also be the best ― Irish Times. Taut, tough, visceral, savage and exhilaratingly written ― i-Paper. One hell of a novel about a good woman on the run with her beautiful boy... I defy anyone to read the first seven pages of this book and not finish it. AMERICAN DIRT transported me through genuine fear and had me willing on every human being struggling to get to a better life. Written with masterly restraint, it is a roaring human triumph. Its been a long time since I turned pages as fast as I did with American Dirt. Its journey is a testament to the power of fear and hope and belief that there are more good people than bad. I devoured the novel in a dry-eyed adrenalin rush... profoundly moving ― Washington Post. About the Author.
