11/24/17 review of novel The Book of Unknown Americans, by Cristina Henríquez

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the novel The Book of Unknown Americans, by Cristina Henríquez.

The thread gives a summary of the novel. It discusses the novel's style, its "page-turner" qualities, its strong use of tension and suspense, and some comparisons with other works. It discusses the book's themes, like family, community, the American dream, the migrant experience, and the sense of place and home.

Here is the link to the Penguin Random House web page for the novel.

I bought this book used from The Red Chair Bookshop at the Denver Public Library in Colorado.
