"In The Lonely Stories @nevegarrett, the personal is political. Yiyun Li, @DinaNayeri, and Jean Kwok write about the loneliness of immigration--the loss of language, of home, the difficulties of starting again in a new country." TY @LAReviewofBooks 🌟🙏https://t.co/rsz2va30ok

In “They Dream in Gold,” Sennaar weaves a large quilt of culture and identity, delving into the American dream as a part of the complexity of the global immigrant experience...This book moves like the storm Sennaar begins it with, revealing how we are all interlinked in a global community, just as these characters, timelines and narratives are entangled.
