BEHOLD THE DREAMERS

Trump’s controversial immigration policies helped get him elected. But this novel shines a light on the struggles of an immigrant couple who go to work for a Lehman Brothers executive just before the financial crisis of 2008. It’s the latest selection of Oprah’s Book Club. Winfrey called Dreamers a “great summer read” and said “it’s about race and class, the economy, culture, immigration and the danger of the us-vs.-them mentality.”
