The Tortilla Curtain, by T.C. Boyle

Have you read T.C. Boyle?? You should. A prolific writer, he’s published 16 novels - this one is from 1995, yet still so relevant. Boyle’s writing is beautiful and readable; a fantastic storyteller, in this novel he intertwines the lives of migrant families with the Los Angeleno families that they encounter. Slightly eviscerating in its tone, it highlights the prejudices and ignorance of both sides of this story, until a beautiful, poignant, and forgiving end. I could not put it down! 5 out of 5 bocks.
