When Delaney Mossbacher knocks down a Mexican pedestrian, he neither reports the accident nor takes his victim to hospital. Instead the man accepts $20 and limps back to poverty and his pregnant 17-year-old wife, leaving Delaney to return to his privileged life in California. But these two men are fated against each other, as Delaney attempts to clear the land of the illegal immigrants who he thinks are turning his state park into a ghetto, and a boiling pot of racism and prejudice threatens to spill over.

Pressestimmen

'This novel examines America's guerrilla war between the haves and have-nots with a zing unequalled since The Bonfire of the Vanities' Observer 'A harrowing, even horrific, tale of an immigrant couple's venture into California, and the shockingly brutal reception they receive ... a remarkable feat of imaginative empathy' Daily Telegraph 'Thrilling ... it's the same set up as Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities but Boyle immediately enlivens it' Independent on Sunday 'A powerful novel ... One of the best books I've read this year' Marie Claire

LovelyBooks-BewertungVon LaKati am 01.02.2024
Großartiges, gesellschaftskritisch Werk über das Schicksal illegaler Einwanderer in den USA - und das bigotte Verhalten der Norteamericanos.
LovelyBooks-BewertungVon Damian_O_Rehfeld am 13.05.2022
Gutes Buch - hat mich aber nicht so gepackt. Sollte aber definitiv gelesen werden, wenn man sich für mexikanische Integration interessiert.
