Winner of the American Book Award, Across a Hundred Mountains is a “timely and riveting” (People) novel about a young girl who leaves her small town in Mexico to find her father, who left his family to work in America—a story of migration, loss, and discovery.

After a tragedy separates her from her mother, Juana García leaves in search of her father, who left them two years earlier. Out of money and in need of someone to help her across the border, Juana meets Adelina Vasquez, a young woman who left her family in California to follow her lover to Mexico. Finding themselves—in a Tijuana jail—in desperate circumstances, they offer each other much needed material and spiritual support and ultimately become linked forever in the most unexpected of ways.

In Across a Hundred Mountains, Reyna Grande puts a human face on the controversial issue of immigration, helping readers to better understand “the desperation of illegal immigrants and the families they leave behind” (Entertainment Weekly) in pursuit of a better life.

Review

"Across a Hundred Mountains is a beautifully rendered novel that maintains its power throughout....A breathtaking debut."

-- El Paso Times

"Elegantly written...a timely and riveting read."

-- People

"Grande's heartfelt [novel] addresses a worthy subject -- the desperation of illegal immigrants and the families they leave behind."

-- Entertainment Weekly

"Reyna Grande beguiles with the spare, unadorned prose of a fabulist, then stuns with emotional truths of shattering complexity....A tale full of memorable characters and even more memorable truths."

-- Javier Grillo-Marxuach, writer/producer of Lost and Boomtown

"Grande's deft portraiture endows even the smallest characters with grace."

-- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Like a Roller Coaster Ride

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 30, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is a fast read. But prepare for it to catapult you in all directions before you approach the final (very satisfying) scene.

For those of you unfamiliar with the actual realities faced by Mexicans who look north for economic and personal freedom, this book truthfully and unromantically reflects a common narrative. It is a narrative I first heard from my own close friend, who crossed the border illegally at age 12 with her mother and younger siblings.

Grande provides us all with a realistic look at the lives of real people, but remembers to add the nonverbal, non-rational to her story in balanced but true measure. Carlos Castenada and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, bow to what the 21st century hath wrought! Reyna Grande.

I'm off to read Reyna Grande's next book, Dancing with Butterflies. I have a young college student, trying to make her way in the norteno world, stuck between her parents' ways and her American culture's, who dances folklorico like Nora dances the tarantella in A Doll's House. Perhaps this will be a good "recommend" for her.

Read Across a Hundred Mountains. Then share it with a friend.

Very deep and thought provoking book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 19, 2012

Verified Purchase

Amazing book! Be warned, it is full of very disturbing and depressing situations, and is not a light read. However, that's the reality that we can't turn a blind eye on. Definitely made my own problems seem insignificant and petty.
A lot of people in the first world don't understand the reasons behind illegal immigration, and this book gives a good insight into what pushes people to risk their lives and leave their families trying to make it across the border. It is not a book you can easily forget - it weighs heavy on your mind, but that's the effect it's supposed to have. Immigration is a heavy issue, and this book gives us a chance to understand it better. We can never know what it's like to be in those people's shoes, but books like this make all the issues more real and bring them to light.
In addition to tackling the immigration issues, the book also has a great storyline that keeps you guessing. It's very hard to put it down.

No Hablo espanol, but you don't have to speak Spanish to enjoy this wonerful book.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've never tried to review a book before, for fear of revealing any portion of the story. I hate spoiling any part of a good book. Yes, this is a good book to read. I read other reviews about the pace of the story, but I felt it could have been a little faster. The story was well written, but I do not speak Spanish well enough to understand some of the comments. The author will define some of the Spanish, but not most. Sadly for me I felt a little left out. Like the author was sharing a deeper meaning amongst her friends and I was not invited. That may be, but overall the book was a great read and I would recommend it.

Heartwarming and heartbreaking

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 23, 2015

Verified Purchase

Sometimes the pain of human circumstances are almost beyond be as ring, but somehow the strong survive. But not without enormous cost. It can break the self, until your identity is nearly erased. It can rob you of hope until what is left is apparently a delusion.
This is a story of the southern border and the risks and benefits of immigration. But it isn't really about that. It is a story about poverty and oppression, but also of liberation. It is about the power of forgiveness and reconciliation. But it is most of all the story of recovering the true self and beginning to mend the broken places. And hope emerges.

I liked the fact that the chapters told you who you ...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book really takes you on a journey. It was little confusing however due to the fact one character would go from present time, to past time, to not quite present time. I liked the fact that the chapters told you who you were reading about. Just when you think you got the book figured out there is another twist and you are left wondering. Interesting concept on immigration issues and the life the immigrant lives before deciding to come to America. I did enjoy the read and the journey.

I had to read this book for class but I am so glad it was required. I love the characters, especially Juana who is a strong woman and has the ability to persevere against incredible odds. Her story is inspiring and I will be forever grateful that it was told.
