Book Club Questions:

Mother Theresa talks about the “deep poverty of the soul” that can afflict the financially wealthy. How is this reflected in the book?

The recent African immigrants dream of one day shopping at Target, like rich people do. Are there ideas you had about the US that now strike you as innocent, naive or cute?

Did you have anxious thoughts about the protagonists of this story as you read? A fear that, “this can’t turn out well”? What about US culture gave you those fears?

Who can take credit for what went well for these folks?

Who can take blame for what went badly?
