This novel explores illegal immigration (pre-Reagan and now), danger, fear, love, family, opportunity, and more. It has a little too much magical realism for my taste, but it is done well and isn‘t really necessary for the story to come together (though it does give a cultural taste). This book reminds me of the movie Coco in several ways—but I won‘t spoil it by explaining. #texaslit #immigration #magicalrealism
