Amanda Eyre Ward‘s most recent novel, The Same Sky, earned a glowing review in the New York Times‘ Sunday Book Review this weekend. The praise was for both Ms. Ward and the book itself:
“Ward is deeply sympathetic to her characters, and this affecting novel is sure to provoke conversations about immigration and adoption.”
The Same Sky delves into the intense world of immigration and the lives of a young Honduran girl named Carla, abandoned by her mother and contemplating an illegal escape to Texas, and Alice, an American woman struggling with infertility and marriage. As they attempt to cope with the curves life has thrown them, Alice and Carla come together and strengthen their ability to survive anything.
