T.C. Boyle's irresistible (Entertainment Weekly) classic bestseller, a tragicomic novel about assimilation, immigration, and the price of the American dream A masterpiece of contemporary social satire. --The Wall Street Journal

WINNER OF THE PRIX MÉDICIS ÉTRANGER
Topanga Canyon is home to two couples on a collision course. Los Angeles liberals Delaney and Kyra Mossbacher lead an ordered sushi-and-recycling existence in a newly gated hilltop community: he a sensitive nature writer, she an obsessive realtor. Undocumented immigrants Cándido and América Rincón desperately cling to their vision of the American Dream as they fight off starvation in a makeshift camp deep in the ravine. And from the moment a freak accident brings Cándido and Delaney into intimate contact, these four and their opposing worlds gradually intersect in what becomes a dramatic comedy of error and prejudice.
