From distant corners of the globe, three strangers risk everything to reach the shores of the United States. In Ethiopia, Tesfaye abandons his post at the Ministry of Defense and attempts to escape the country while a crazed rebel commander hunts him down for reasons he will spend years trying to fully understand. Lin’s mother forces her to leave China to protect her from the same fate that led to her father’s disappearance. In Mexico, Sofia’s health rapidly deteriorates, so she leaves behind her two young children and the memory of a murdered husband. These three do not realize just how perilous their journeys will be, nor do they know that reaching U.S. soil will just be the beginning. The dire circumstances that cause them to flee their homelands follow them across oceans and deserts. As Tesfaye, Lin, and Sofia confront their pasts, a federal immigration agent seeks to unravel their new lives. In the process, their once divergent paths ultimately draw closer together. Although Five Grounds is a novel, the story lines are grounded in true historical and contemporary events.

5,0 su 5 stelle An important, engaging novel
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 dicembre 2012
Acquisto verificato
Five Grounds is a sweeping novel (across both time and continents) with characters that give us a heartbreaking portrait of the risk, sacrifice, and audacity it takes to seek refuge in America. The author does not spare his reader from the misery and torture that plague these characters' pasts, yet he manages to give us enough hints at what drives them to keep going, to keep hoping. Balancing their pleas for asylum are the attorneys trying to deport them. The author presents this deeply complicated issue of immigration and asylum through these characters (along with the attorneys trying to help the immigrants) and does so quite evenly. The book is not without fault: the foreshadowing can be a little heavy, for instance. But on the whole the novel is well worth your time as it excels at presenting thought provoking and utterly engaging story. A mix of fiction and nonfiction, of literary and suspense/thriller, of law and emotion, Five Grounds is a great book that will leave you thinking - the way the best stories do.

4,0 su 5 stelle A MUST READ FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, PUBLIC OFFICIALS & POLITICIANS
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 6 novembre 2013
Acquisto verificato
Mr. Rempell wrote a timely compelling book which should be required reading for every high school student, public official & politician. "Five Grounds" dispels preconceived opinions on the USA's immigration policies, or lack thereof. Mr. Rempell put a very human face on very desperate people & their harrowing experiences. Their only chance of survival hinges on one corrupt US immigration officer. Most immigrants are stereotyped as Spanish speaking people who have entered this country illegally. Mr. Rempell does a wonderful job of destroying that myth. After reading this book I am even more grateful for having been born in this country.

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 18 dicembre 2012

Scott Rempell manages to do in his work of fiction what the genre of fiction is meant for in this world -- to give us quiet insight by connecting us with the faces behind the mask of fact.

While reading this book, I was entrenched in the fast-paced, page-turning story. I felt like I was reading the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo or Smila's Sense of Snow. But each time I stepped back for a minute, I realized that Five Grounds was making me explore my own views on the immigration debate. I was truly "putting myself in others' shoes" as the characters in the book led me through the "for" and "against" arguments. As a health care professional who works in an area replete with undocumented immigrants, I have never felt better equipped to try to understand the multiple perspectives around my patients' legal conundrums...and all of this from a very fun, escapist fictional read to which I could kick up my feet at the end of a long day.

Bravo Scott Rempell!

5,0 su 5 stelle Awesome book
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 giugno 2013
Acquisto verificato
Highly recommend. Book is well-written, enjoyable to read, and yet still very
thought provoking on an important and complex subject. Scott Rempell does
an outstanding job of presenting the different bios and allowing the reader to
empathize with the characters, without compromising an honest and unbiased
portrayal of the immigration system. Excellent discussion for classroom or book
club.

4,0 su 5 stelle This was an excellent novel. It told of a man from Ethiopia
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 aprile 2015

This was an excellent novel. It told of a man from Ethiopia, a young woman from China and a woman from Mexico and their attempts to enter the U.S.A. illegally. It was well written and objective and showed the flaws in their requests to seek asylum in the U.S. I would recommend this novel to everyone. Their is some violence but this is a violent world.
