A mother and father set out with their kids from New York to Arizona. In their used Volvo--and with their ten-year-old son trying out his new Polaroid camera--the family is heading for the Apacheria: the region the Apaches once called home, and where the ghosts of Geronimo and Cochise might still linger. The father, a sound documentarist, hopes to gather an "inventory of echoes" from this historic, mythic place. The mother, a radio journalist, becomes consumed by the news she hears on the car radio, about the thousands of children trying to reach America but getting stranded at the southern border, held in detention centers, or being sent back to their homelands, to an unknown fate.
But as the family drives farther west--through Virginia to Tennessee, across Oklahoma and Texas--we sense they are on the brink of a crisis of their own. A fissure is growing between the parents, one the children can feel beneath their feet. They are led, inexorably, to a grand, unforgettable adventure--both in the harsh desert landscape and within the chambers of their own imaginations.

聽audible…如果不是娜塔莉波特曼推薦,我肯定看不下去…全書每個人怎麼都有髒話呢……小男孩像是有滿腦幻想拯救世界plus滿腹對妹妹的不滿意。作者自己讀媽媽的那部分,聽到的更多是冷漠;可能作者隻是為瞭錶現紀實吧
評分這個文筆無法讀下去啊……布剋奬選它我就要撅倒瞭
評分前半本和後半本沒有任何關係的書
