具体描述
Already being hailed as "a Grapes of Wrath for our times" and "a new American classic," American Dirt is a rare exploration into the inner hearts of people willing to sacrifice everything for a glimmer of hope.
Lydia Quixano Perez lives in the Mexican city of Acapulco. She runs a bookstore. She has a son, Luca, the love of her life, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. And while there are cracks beginning to show in Acapulco because of the drug cartels, her life is, by and large, fairly comfortable.
Even though she knows they'll never sell, Lydia stocks some of her all-time favorite books in her store. And then one day a man enters the shop to browse and comes up to the register with four books he would like to buy--two of them her favorites. Javier is erudite. He is charming. And, unbeknownst to Lydia, he is the jefe of the newest drug cartel that has gruesomely taken over the city. When Lydia's husband's tell-all profile of Javier is published, none of their lives will ever be the same.
American Dirt will leave readers utterly changed. It is a page-turner; it is a literary achievement; it is filled with poignancy, drama, and humanity on every page. It is one of the most important books for our times.

姐妹的经历最为触动；女主的经历过于琐碎和煽情了
评分当代的“愤怒的葡萄”是不是过誉了，不知道设定黑帮老大有啥意义
评分当代的“愤怒的葡萄”是不是过誉了，不知道设定黑帮老大有啥意义
评分一部非法入境美国的移民史。小说高潮在后三分之一，中间有点冗长无聊。看介绍以为讲的是女主和老大的情感纠葛，其实老大就是个酱油瓶。强烈建议拍成电影，小说满满的画面感！
评分so tense
