1950s Hollywood: Every actress wants to play Salome, the star-making role in a big-budget movie about the legendary woman whose story has inspired artists since ancient times. So when the film’s mercurial director casts Vera Larios, an unknown Mexican ingenue, in the lead role, she quickly becomes the talk of the town. Vera also becomes an object of envy for Nancy Hartley, a bit player whose career has stalled, and who will do anything to win the fame she believes she richly deserves.

Everyone who makes the journey faces an impossible choice. Hundreds of thousands of people who arrive every year at the US-Mexico border travel far from their homes. For years, the majority came from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, but many more have begun their journey much farther away. Some flee persecution, others crime or hunger. They may have already been deported, but the United States remains their only hope for safety and prosperity. They will take their chances.

The effort put in to researching the immigration story of the US during the most recent decades.
Revisado: 03-22-24
I was born Central American to a US born person worked for the US government there during the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. The writer’s grasp of the issues is spot on as his story educates his readers on the tragic social political reality of Central America of the past decades and how the US impacted the political processes there resulting in the cruel and almost impossible immigration crisis we are all currently living through in the US. Thank you, Jonathan Blitzer for this empathic tribute to all the immigrants.

Endearing and fun
Revisado: 07-05-23
I really enjoyed both the story and the reader. They book; in spite of being about very sad social matters in India such as caste and discrimination, abuse and mistreatment of woman told a very compelling story about women finding strength to overcome wrongs by seeking support and love in their own sisterhood. This type of support is never perfect and the author uses dark humor to describe these mishaps but in the end friendships help the main character overcome the wrongs done to her.

Will Patton's voice hard to hear
Revisado: 10-16-16
Struggled to make out Will Patton's narration during complex dialog as he would deepen his voice for these parts.
