American Dirt, by Janine Cummins is this month’s book.
It’s about a Mexican bookseller who is forced to flee as an undocumented immigrant migrant (oh dear) to the US, along with her son after her journalist husband exposes a local drug kingpin who she has unwittingly befriended.
It’s been a New York Times bestseller, selling over 3,000,000 copies worldwide wide. It has also been criticised by Mexican-American authors as being culturally exploitative .
