What Readers Are Saying About Let Us Begin

Julia’s best work as she writes the oh so familiar drama of immigration with a special twist. She shows her mettle as a storyteller with her heart in her hands and poignant memories that serve to reinforce the challenges and drama immigrants face even today.

 “Let Us Begin” offers a gripping story that stays with readers long after it has ended. For those interested in learning more about the complexities of the pursuit of happiness and all that this entails, this novel is a compelling read thanks to the author’s vivid storytelling and accurate depiction of Salvador’s immigrant experience. A fantastic tale. I heartily endorse this book.

Julia Amante’s Let Us Begin is a bittersweet exploration of one man’s pursuit of the American dream. Love, loyalty and loss are Salvador’s companions on his journey from his family home Argentina, as a lonely immigrant in New York and finally to California where he settles into an imperfect life of his own making. Let Us Begin is a compelling novel that is written with honesty and compassion.
