5.0 out of 5 stars
A novel written with great skill and compassion,
By
This review is from: From This Wicked Patch of Dust (Paperback)
Sergio Troncoso's new novel, "From This Wicked Patch of Dust" (University of Arizona Press), has at its center the Martinez family that struggles to survive on the U.S.-Mexico border. Troncoso uses this one family to explore issues of assimilation, immigration, religion, politics and war. It is a story written with great skill and compassion, a story too often ignored or, worse yet, stereotyped by contemporary writers. One would not be surprised to see it included on high school and college reading lists across the country in the very near future.

A mexican american's family struggles and bonds,

This review is from: From This Wicked Patch of Dust (Paperback)
I am reading this book about the author's Ysleta, which is a neighboring town of my own El Paso, Texas. It is an awesome page-turner. Every immigrant and those who don't understand immigrants should buy this book. It features the struggles of our families, and the bonds that keep us together and sometimes tear us apart. Brilliant book!
