À propos de cet audio

 "Impossibly smart, full of beauty, heart and insight . . . Everyone should read this book."--Tommy Orange

From the two-time NBCC Finalist, an emotionally resonant, fiercely imaginative new novel about a family whose road trip across America collides with an immigration crisis at the southwestern border--an indelible journey told with breathtaking imagery, spare lyricism, and profound humanity.

A mother and father set out with their two children, a boy and a girl, driving from New York to Arizona in the heat of summer. Their destination: Apacheria, the place the Apaches once called home.

Why Apaches? asks the ten-year-old son. Because they were the last of something,answers his father.

In their car, they play games and sing along to music. But on the radio, there is news about an "immigration crisis": thousands of kids trying to cross the southwestern border into the United States, but getting detained--or lost in the desert along the way.

As the family drives--through Virginia to Tennessee, across Oklahoma and Texas--we sense they are on the brink of a crisis of their own. A fissure is growing between the parents, one the children can almost feel beneath their feet. They are led, inexorably, to a grand, harrowing adventure--both in the desert landscape and within the chambers of their own imaginations.

Told through several compelling voices, blending texts, sounds, and images, Lost Children Archive is an astonishing feat of literary virtuosity. It is a richly engaging story of how we document our experiences, and how we remember the things that matter to us the most. With urgency and empathy, it takes us deep into the lives of one remarkable family as it probes the nature of justice and equality today.

This was a lovely novel made even better by the audio of the book. It told the story of a family, a marriage, a child, and the ones that are lost but not forgotten. I could not recommend this book any stronger! Must read!

Lovely Novel! Hit all the points

This will be a modern classic. It’s inventive in structure, beautifully incapsulates the family and ties it perfectly into the migrant crisis. It has intertextuality and fantastic prose. The audiobook is incredible because it reproduces the sound scapes and the cast is great. You do miss the photos in the book though, so doing both is great, if you can.

One of the best books ever imo
