Return to Sender


Return to SenderReturn to Sender by Julia Alvarez
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The story of Tyler, from a farm in Vermont, and his relationship with Mari, the daughter of an illegal migrant worker, is presented to the reader from both points of view, sometimes using letters as a means of telling Mari's part of the story. Mari's mom has gone missing, and the family is in constant terror of being found out by La Migra. Through the use of a telescope and the stars, the two develop a deep friendship.
