"What Strange Paradise is as dark and poetic as it is devastating and emotionally gritty. But what makes it unforgettable is that it’s so close to the reality of immigration worldwide that it could almost be dipping its toes into nonfiction. A harrowing account of illegal migration gone wrong, this is one of those rare narratives that obliterates your belief in humanity — and then somehow manages to restore it."
