Book Review of American Dirt By Jeanine Cummins

Rating 4.5/5

The book had raked up a controversy in the reading circles, so i thought  should read and give it a review. It tells the story of a migrant lady Lydia Quixano Perez. Lydia's husband is an investigative journalist. Lydia is concerned with her husband going to make a big exposure pertaining to a notorious drug lord called "The Owl". After her husband makes the exposure, the drug lord takes revenge. The only survivors of the slaughter, Lydia and her son escapes to colorado where they may be safe with her cousin. The story moves from the jaw breaking acion and tense plots of the first pages to the more intense humane phase of storytelling in later chapters. It explores the woes of a migrant, a mother's care for her child, a women's quest for survival in a rather manly world.

A review of Where The Crowdads Sing by Delia Owens.

Delia owen twins a mesmerizing tale of a young women , abandoned by her family as a child. She survives in the marsh lands of North Carolina depending least on the outside world. The loneliness that the protagonist face really moves the reader. Delia Owens is not story-telling, she invites us on an emotional roller coaster. The protagonist's affinity to the marsh-lands is well portrayed. She is aptly called the marsh-girl.
