Translated from the Spanish by Lizzie Davis with Valeria Luiselli Want to read Tell Me How it Ends? Buy it here. The situation is so common that most of them take contraceptive precautions as they begin the journey north.” “Rapes: 80% of the women and girls who cross Mexico to get to the US Border are raped on the way.

The title of the book comes from when Luiselli tells her daughter of the plight of illegal child migrants and her daughter asks when will it (the suffering) all end. This book is even more poignant given Trump’s policies against Mexican children (illegally) entering the USA I hope we will see changes during Biden’s time in office. She interviews unaccompanied migrant children, she then translates and transcribes their interviews. Tell me How it Ends is about Luiselli’s experiences working as a volunteer for the Federal Courts in NYC. Luiselli is a Mexican writer/journalist, who currently lives in New York City.
