Lost Children Archive: A novel

From the two-time NBCC Finalist, an emotionally resonant, fiercely imaginative new novel about a family whose road trip across America collides with an immigration crisis at the southwestern border--an indelible journey told with breathtaking imagery, spare lyricism, and profound humanity. Told through several compelling voices, blending texts, sounds, and images, Lost Children Archive is an astonishing feat of literary virtuosity. It is a richly engaging story of how we document our experiences, and how we remember the things that matter to us the most. With urgency and empathy, it takes us deep into the lives of one remarkable family as it probes the nature of justice and equality today.

I find this book had alot of potential covering such important topics such as adoption, migration, and immigration but the author had the plot too convoluted as the topics overflowed. From the concept of the Americana road trip with 2 adopted children with 3 different intentions on the road trip to the added discussions on the heated topics of the day, the author was trying to cover too much from too many points of views. There isnt much resolution or satisfaction in finishing this book.
