Cristina Henriquez's 2014 novel The Book of Unknown Americans tells the love story of two teenagers: a Mexican girl and Panamanian boy - Mayor and Maribel. Maribel and her family emigrated to America from Mexico in order to send her to a special needs school after sustaining a head injury. After moving to America, the family has trouble adjusting to life in America, learning English, and fitting in general. The narrative covers themes of fitting in, romance, assimilation, acculturation, and finding ones identity.

Upon release, The Book of Unknown Americans was met with solid reviews. On Amazon, it holds a very respectable rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars. On book review aggregator Goodreads.com, it holds a solid, albeit unspectacular rating of 3.87 out of 5 stars. Writes the Los Angeles Review of Books: "[the book] is as disturbing as it is beautiful, a testament to the mixed blessings our country offers immigrants, who struggle against bigotry and economic hardship while maintaining just enough hope to keep striving for something better...a narrative mosaic that moves toward a heartrending conclusion." The Daily Beast called this the novel of the year.

Read the excerpt from twelfth night, by william shakespeare. if music be the food of love, play on; give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, the appetite may sicken, and so die. that strain again! it had a dying fall: o, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound, that breathes upon a bank of violets, stealing and giving odour! now read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." for i have known them all already, known them all: have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, i have measured out my life with coffee spoons; i know the voices dying with a dying fall beneath the music from a farther room. what does the phrase “dying fall” most likely mean in both excerpts? the noise is jarring. the noise is soothing. the sounds are fading. the sounds are too loud. mark this and return
