What do readers think of The Distance Between Us by Reyna Grande? Write your own review.

This memoir gives the reader valuable insights into the Mexican immigration situation from a personal point of view. In the light of this current presidential election, it should be at the top of every American's reading list. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

This story captured my heart from the beginning to the end. It was so eloquently written with such a descriptive narrative that I could literally feel and smell and see the sights around me. From the dust on the ground to the feel of the dirt and mud clinging to my feet to the taste of the medicine Abuela Evila used to rid the children of worms.

This memoir is one I won’t soon forget and is now part of my permanent collection. I loved ‘The Glass Castle’ by Jeannette Walls but The Distance Between Us has that beat by a long shot. If you want an unbelievable read, don’t miss this one, it definitely gets a thumbs up from me.
