A family in New York packs the car and sets out on a road trip. A mother, a father, a boy and a girl, they head southwest, to the Apacheria, the regions of the US which used to be Mexico. They drive for hours through desert and mountains. They stop at diners when they’re hungry and sleep in motels when it gets dark. The little girl tells surreal knock knock jokes and makes them all laugh. The little boy educates them all and corrects them when they’re wrong. The mother and the father are barely speaking to each other.

Disappointing
Revisado: 06-15-21
The subject matter seems really interesting and topical but sadly I couldn’t get beyond the first couple of chapters. I was irritated by the narration, which was dull and deadpan and the way the author continuously referred to the children as ‘the boy’ and ‘the girl’ only served to put me off. A book needs to draw you in, to keep you interested until the end. This book fell very short for me in that regard.
