Items related to Amigoland: A Novel
In a small town on the Mexican border live two brothers, Don Fidencio and Don Celestino. Stubborn and independent, they now must face the facts: they are old, and they have let a family argument stand between them for too long. Don Celestino's good-natured housekeeper encourages him to make amends - while he still can. They secretly liberate Don Fidencio from his nursing home and travel into Mexico to solve the mystery at the heart of their dispute: the family legend of their grandfather's kidnapping. As the unlikely trio travels, the brothers learn it's never too late for a new beginning.
With winsome prose and heartfelt humor, Oscar Casares's debut novel of family lost and found radiates with generosity and grace and confirms the arrival of a uniquely talented new writer.

Review:
"A winning novel...It's plain to see how love, borders, death-and most of all, willful ignorance-are part of everyday reawakenings. With Casares' blessing, you can laugh at them all." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Oscar Casares' AMIGOLAND, his first novel and a follow-up to his much-acclaimed book of short stories, "Brownsville", is a liberating journey full of warmth and color....The group's impromptu trip to Mexico feels like a refreshing, rejuvenating trip for the reader as well as the characters. And the ending? Bittersweet, unexpected and undeniably precious. All told, AMIGOLAND is full of new friends and makes for perfect summer reading." -- Bookpage
"Knowing, touching and true." -- Kirkus (starred review)
