La Bloga: AUTHOR WRITES OF A DIFFERENT DANGEROUS MIGRATION

“Under cover of night, with the aid of a high-priced human smuggler, a frightened group of men, women and children attempt a dangerous trek from their homeland to another country — all in search of a better life.

Who will succeed in entering the foreign land and improving their daily circumstances? And who will be apprehended by the authorities and returned to desperate poverty or other oppression? Such is the premise of Laila Lalami’s debut novel, Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits, now available in paperback from Harvest Books ($13).”
