Na tokratnem bralnem klubu, v torek 28. februarja. 2023, ob 17. uri v Knjižnici Pavla Golie Trebnje se bomo pogovarjali o knjigi Ameriška tla ameriške pisateljice Jeanine Cummins.
Ameriška tla so zelo spretno, dinamično, napeto in intrigantno izpisana zgodba, v kateri ima glavna junakinja Lydia, lastnica knjigarne v Acapulcu, za moža Sebastiána, angažiranega novinarja, raziskovalca mehiških kartelov.
Vsi v hiši in na vrtu so mrtvi, žrtve mehiškega mamilarskega kartela. Vsi razen Lydie in njenega osemletnega sina Luca, ki se skrita v kopalnici rešita. Za zdaj. Lydia ve, da šef kartela ne bo odnehal, dokler se ne maščuje nad celo njeno družino, in ostane ji ena sama pot – beg v ZDA.
Tako se začne njuno tvegano potovanje iz nevarnega Acapulca, prek tajnih varnih hiš, begunskih zbirališč in streh drvečih vlakov, ki hitijo na sever, stran od dežele, kjer ju čaka smrt, v deželo, kjer ju čaka neznano kaj. Pretresljivi roman o stiskah mehiških beguncev, ki si prizadevajo ubežati neperspektivnemu ali celo pogubnemu domačemu okolju in prečkati ameriško mejo.
Pridružite se nam in skupaj bomo razmišljali o knjigi, ki je v ZDA že pred izidom dvignila veliko prahu in takoj postala mednarodna uspešnica.
