What People Are Saying |
|
"Zamora . . . recounts in absorbing detail the dangerous, weekslong journey he took from El Salvador to reunite with his parents in the United States when he was just 9." -The New York Times "The magic of this book lies not only in the beguiling voice of young Javier, or the harrowing journey and immense bravery of the migrants, or in the built-in hero's journey of this narrative. It's hard to reconcile the fact that this book hasn't always been with us. How can something so essential and fundamental to the American story not already be part of our canon?" -San Francisco Chronicle "An important, beautiful work." -The New York Times Book Review "Zamora's [Solito] is a distinctly American memoir, and he tells a distinctly American story." -The Nation "A monumental accomplishment." -Oprah Daily "Crafted with stunning intimacy . . . you'll feel so close to the boy [Zamora] was then that you'll think about him long after the book is done. It's impossible not to feel both immersed in and changed by this extraordinary book." -Los Angeles Times "Solito is a stone-cold masterpiece, an absolute masterpiece. I know I used that word twice. That's how you know I mean it." -Emma Straub "A riveting tale of perseverance and the lengths humans will go to help each other in times of struggle. With [Solito], Javier Zamora arrives to the forefront of essential American voices." -Dave Eggers |
