    About this audiobook

    A moving, eye-opening polemic about the US-Mexico border and what happens to the tens of thousands of unaccompanied Mexican and Central American children arriving in the US without papers

    ‘We are driving across Oklahoma in early June when we first hear about the waves of children arriving, alone and undocumented, from Mexico and Central America. Tens of thousands have been detained at the border. What will happen to them? Where are the parents? And why have they undertaken a terrifying, life-threatening journey to enter the United States?’

    Valeria Luiselli works as a volunteer at the federal immigration court in New York City, translating for unaccompanied migrant children. Out of her work has come this book – a search for answers and an urgent appeal for humanity and compassion in response to mass migration, the most significant global phenomenon of our time.

    ‘So true and moving that it filled me with hopeless hope’ Ali Smith

    ‘Harrowing, intimate, quietly brilliant’ New York Times

    ‘The first must-read book of the Trump era’ Texas Observer

    ‘Angry and affecting. A slight book with a big impact’ Financial Times

    ‘There are many books addressing the plight of refugees. Tell Me How It Ends – lucid, plain-speaking and authoritative – is one of the most powerful’ Big Issue

    Editor's Note

    Celebrated author…

    This slim nonfiction book by Luiselli, a celebrated Mexican author, examines the current immigration crisis through a 40-question survey child migrants must complete. In particular, it focuses on the stakes riding on how children answer, “Why did you come to the United States?”

      No puedo con la rabia que me causa el trasfondo de este libro.
      Doy gracias por toda esa gente que está al frente de la lucha.
      La falta de empatía humana me acongoja el corazón.Los voluntarios que a lo largo de la ruta ayudan a los inmigrantes se merecen el cielo.
      La autora habla de "La Bestia", las líneas de tren entre Centroamérica y México que llevan hasta la frontera con EEUU. Tal vez esa sea la entrada al infierno.

      Moving, educative, well written. Absolutely recommend. A humanitarian crisis in the richest country in the world explained in a very humanist way, and it's so readable.
