Into the Beautiful North: An Overview

In my opinion, Into the Beautiful North is a story that brings you entirely into the tradition and culture of Mexico, surrounding you with an image of a colorful and vibrant world.
From the beginning of the book, the author uses flourishing words to describe the life of Nayeli (the main character in the book), and speaks of events in her life such as going to the movie theatre to view old films and going crabbing in blue, fresh waters, as well as the most poignant event in the book, her trip to cross the border to the United States.
With her friends, Vampi (Veronica) , Yoloxotichl and Tacho, Nayeli sets out on an adventure to gather men to populate her rural village.
Filled with naivety and hope, they set out to illegally cross the border into the United States, and Nayeli has secret hopes of finding her father, who left her years ago.
All in all, I found Into the Beautiful North to be a very deep and profound book, because it brought up such topics as immigration and also cultural differences, but also was humorous and pleasant. The writer of Into the Beautiful North teaches at a college in Downtown Chicago, and I am inclined to pay him a visit and show my appreciation for his book.
I'll have to ask some friends' opinions to see if they think this is a good idea.
I am so very glad I read this book as it was very well written, and also beautiful.
