pick#readingtheamericas2023 #honduras What starts out as an allegorical tale of western man‘s relationship to nature slowly turns into a psychological thriller. The narrator is a young teenaged boy and his relationship with his egotistic father careens from worship to loathing as the father‘s hubris brings destruction to his family and as nature does what she does best - surprise!
pickI really liked this one! I love the progression from eccentricity to something far more sinister, and the survival aspect. I don‘t think there was a boring page. Has anyone seen the movie? #passportlitsy
A man takes his family to Honduras to start a new life, but it doesn't work out well. #getawaysgonewrong #sizzlinsummerbooks

"He would dare us to go out and sit on a rock and stay there until the rising tide threatened us. It was a summer game we had played in Cape Cod. But it was still spring in Baltimore - too cold for swimming - and we had all our clothes on. I could not believe he was serious, so I said I would try, and expected him to laugh. He said, 'You're keeping us waiting.'
