Synopsis

Fear keeps them running. Hope keeps them alive.

Vivid, visceral, utterly compelling, American Dirt, is the first novel to explore the experience of attempting to illegally cross the US-Mexico border. It is a story that will leave you utterly changed.

Yesterday, Lydia had a bookshop.

Yesterday, Lydia was married to a journalist.

Yesterday, she was with everyone she loved most in the world.

Today, her eight-year-old son, Luca, is all she has left.

For him, she will carry a machete strapped to her leg.

For him, she will leap onto the roof of a high speed train.

For him, she will find the strength to keep running.
