Der Nummer-1-Bestseller der New York Times-Bestsellerliste: Eine Mutter und ihr Kind auf einer atemlosen Flucht durch ein Land, das von Gewalt und Korruption regiert wird
Gestern besaß sie noch einen wunderbaren Buchladen.
Gestern war sie glücklich mit ihrem Mann, einem Journalisten.
Gestern waren alle, die sie am meisten liebte, noch da.
Heute ist ihr achtjähriger Sohn Luca alles, was ihr noch geblieben ist.
Für ihn bewaffnet sie sich mit einer Machete.
Für ihn springt sie auf den Wagen eines Güterzugs.
Aber findet sie für ihn die Kraft, immer weiter zu rennen? Furchtlos und verzweifelt, erschöpft und jede Sekunde wachsam.
Lydias gesamte Verwandtschaft wird von einem Drogenkartell ermordet. Nur Lydia und ihr kleiner Sohn Luca überleben das Blutbad und fliehen in Richtung Norden.
Sie kämpfen um ihr Leben.

Entire book is in German.
1 Star
Entire book is in German.
The book cover is in English. The inside pages not so much. It’s all German. Talk about a bait and switch. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER. Unless you can read German.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably a true possibility of migration from south of the border, although not true of all!
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2021

This book was very informational about the migration from South of the border into the USA! An eye opener, as much about the possible type of folks trying to migrate as the struggle of it all. Most USA citizens do not have much of a clue about what really happens.

I had no indication that this book was in German. I wanted English. I want my money back!!! It looks like this is a common issue-shame on you Amazon! The cover, except for the very small print, is in English, how was I to know? Very misleading.

I didn’t like the fact that you sent it to me in German. I waited 4 weeks and then when it did arrive I couldn’t read it. Had to return it and very cautious about reordering another book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Großartiger Tatsachenroman
Reviewed in Germany on August 23, 2021
Verified Purchase
"American Dirt" ist ein sehr gut geschriebener und spannender Roman, darüber hinaus aber eine in unserer Zeit der weltweiten Flüchtlingsströme dringend nötige Reportage über das Leid der Fliehenden - hier: Mexikaner, die nach Nordamerika fliehen. Wessen Familie in einem vom Bandenterror eroberten Staat zum großen Teil ermordet wurde, muss einfach in einem anderen Land für sich und sein Kind einen Ausweg suchen, auch unter allergrößten Gefahren.
