NPR had a good interview with the author of this book. It sounds very interesting and I like the idea of a modern discussion of immigration. Has anyone read this yet?

Sydney Avey I just posted my review. I really liked this book. The author probes the complexities of immigration, race relations, and justice in a way that deepens our understanding.
Vika I read it a month ago. It does give the reader all sorts of feelings about Eitan and SirKit. Are they good people? I changed my mind several times about the characters as the book progressed. I think the author's translator from Hebrew to English wrote very well. The book remains in my mind even today.
Ariel I'm reading it now and really enjoying it! Really beautifully written down to the sentence level, and a compelling story as well.
Laura Morton I heard about it on NPR as well and read. I've just posted a review and highly recommend it.
