"Amores inmigrantes sintetiza las anécdotas y los paisajes de vidas extraordinarias y sensibles, de hombres y mujeres que generaron nuestras raíces culturales, familiares y religiosas. Enriquecieron el suelo, el corazón y la mente, lejos del hambre y el dolor de la guerra, pero enfrentando la soledad del desarraigo. Con una prosa conmovedora, Diana Arias narra las odiseas vividas por nuestros ancestros" (Alejandro Guillermo Roemmers, escritor poeta). "En cada capítulo se siente la cercanía, la empatía. Ese es un mérito de la narradora. Nos reúne a través del tiempo con los protagonistas y, a medida que vamos conociendo sus pasos, sentimos el deseo de alentarlos para que nos regalen un final feliz. Diana, la eterna cazadora, esta vez se convirtió en Cupido literario de aquellas parejas. Debemos agradecerle su aporte a la historia del amor en la Argentina" (Daniel Balmaceda, escritor). "Un libro de aventuras reales, que se inclina como un precipicio para hacernos volar y pensar qué menudos somos frente a la audacia de nuestros mayores" (Victoria Zorraquín, especialista en Educación).
