Reviews
"Time to sink into American Dirt ." -- Entertainment Weekly " American Dirt is an extraordinary piece of work, a perfect balancing act with terror on one side and love on the other. I defy anyone to read the first seven pages of this book and not finish it. The prose is immaculate, and the story never lets up. This book will be an important voice in the discussion about immigration and los migrantes ; it certainly puts the lie to the idea that we are being besieged by 'bad hombres.' On a micro scale--the story scale, where I like to live--it's one hell of a novel about a good woman on the run with her beautiful boy. It's marvelous." -- Stephen King "From its heart-stopping first sentence to its heart-shattering last, Cummins's story of immigrants is just what we need now. Gritty yet sensitive, realistic yet hopeful, grand and granular, American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins is a Grapes of Wrath for our times." -- Don Winslow , author of the New York Times bestseller The Border " American Dirt is an urgent, blistering, unforgettable book. In her portrayal of Lydia and Luca, a mother and son forced to leave their Mexican home, Jeanine Cummins has given face to migrants everywhere who flee violence and near-certain death in search of only one thing: a chance at life. Beautifully written, thrilling in its propulsive force, American Dirt is a new American classic." -- Tara Conklin , author of the New York Times bestseller The Last Romantics "The story of the migrant is the story of our times, and Jeanine Cummins is a worthy chronicler. At once intimate and epic, American Dirt is an exhilarating and beautiful book about parental love and human hope." -- Rumaan Alam , author of That Kind of Mother and Rich and Pretty "Urgent and unforgettable, American Dirt leaps the borders of the page and demands attention, especially now." -- Sarah Blake , author of the New York Times bestseller The Postmistress and The Guest Book, "I strive to write page-turners because I love to read them, and it''s been a long time since I turned pages as fast as I did with American Dirt . Its plot is tight, smart, and unpredictable. Its message is important and timely, but not political. Its characters are violent, compassionate, sadistic, fragile, and heroic. It is rich in authenticity. Its journey is a testament to the power of fear and hope and belief that there are more good people than bad." -- John Grisham "Relevant, powerful, extraordinary. It is a remarkable combination of joy and terror, infused always with the restorative power of a mother''s love and the endless human capacity for hope. I hope everyone reads it and is as moved by it as I was." -- Kristin Hannah , #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone "Riveting, timely, a dazzling accomplishment. Jeanine Cummins makes us all LIVE and BREATHE the refugee story." -- Julia Alvarez , author of In the Time of the Butterflies " American Dirt is an extraordinary piece of work, a perfect balancing act with terror on one side and love on the other.
