In a provocative novel addressing contemporary immigration by the sharply observant Lionel Shriver, a New York family takes in a Honduran migrantwho may or may not be the innocent paragon she claims to be.Gloria Bonaventura, a divorced mother of three living with her 26yearold son Nico in a sprawling house in Brooklyn, decides to participate in a new city program that would pay her to take in a migrant as a boarder. Gloria is thrilled when sweet, kind, helpful Martine arrives. But Nico is skeptical. A classic liveathome Gen Zer with no interest in adulthood, Nico resents any interruption of his hovercraft repose.As the months go by, Martine endears herself to both Nicos sisters, while finding her way into Glorias heart and even, briefly, Nicos. But as Martines disturbingly dodgy compatriots begin to show up, Nico conceives a dark twin hostile to both his mothers altruism and the migrant crisis in generaland turns out to be anything but a reliable narrator himself.Based loosely on a program a New York City mayor floated but did not initiate, A Better Life is Lionel Shriver at her best: smart, funny, and sensitive to the moral nuances of perhaps the most divisive issue of our times.

I enjoyed parts of 'A Better Life' for its deep messages and character development. However, there were moments when the pacing dragged a little too much for me. Still, the insights it offers about personal growth are worth the read if you have the patience!

Engaging read from start to finish!
I picked up 'A Better Life' thinking it would just be another fiction book, but I was hooked! The characters felt so real and the storyline really made me reflect on my own life choices. I loved how it tackled serious themes while still being relatable. Definitely a good read for anyone looking for inspiration!

Not what I expected - disappointing read
Honestly, I was really looking forward to 'A Better Life', but it didn't live up to my hopes. Some plot points felt unrealistic, and the ending was quite abrupt. I wanted more closure! Gave it a shot, but I won’t be recommending it to friends.
