Seductive and controversial, "Estados Unidos/United States"
pulsates with passion, intrigue and political ambition as financial
titans clash over US-Mexican immigration policies.
This tightly woven novel extrapolates present trends to
construct a plot packed with powerful conflicts and human emotions.
In doing so, the novel focuses on three formidable characters: the
wealthy and influential Esteban Sanchez, his brilliant, captivating
son, Carlos, and the woman Carlos loves, Janet Graham, whose goal
is to reach high political office. While Esteban and Carlos work
separately behind the scenes to implement border-cracking
legislation for an ambitious union between the U.S. and Mexico,
other forces come into play: "The moment had arrived. Time to begin
the beguine. How the world would dance Regrettable, even painful,
the pilot lamented, the numbers that would be sacrificed. Yet as
Spartacus and Bolivar, Joan of Arc and George Patton knew, only
slaughter could galvanize a government, so slaughter it would
be."
The lunacy has to be stopped.
Carlos is convinced that once Janet truly understands Mexico,
she will support "his" vision. In her relentless quest to
internalize Mexican culture, she unearths the roadmap to a better
tomorrow.
The Klines' firsthand experiences and additional research make
this novel both explicative and riveting.
