The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story by Kate McGahan – Review by Anantha Rusum

The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story by Kate McGahan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is an emotional roller coaster ride of a love story across the border of US and Mexico, between two people with two completely different personalities and outlooks. It is a very intense read and keeps the reader hooked to the book till the very end.
Two different perspectives, one can see the beauty of the border and marvel at the sight, or weep bitterly when we understand the complexities of the lives of people who are affected by it. The impact runs deep, sometimes a little dark, but truth is always hard hitting.
I am a huge fan of historic fiction. This was the first time I am reading this piece of history and it was a huge revelation for me. The book is highly educational and poignant at many places when it deals with issues of human trafficking of the victims along the border.
I sincerely believe that a good book, transforms a reader to a better human. These types of books have to be promoted, and I sincerely wish the book and the author all the success.
