Thank you to @avidreaderpress for sending me Infinite Country by Patricia Engel! I loved it SO MUCH 😭❤️ This book follows a family from Colombia who leave their country to try and make a better life in the US. It opens with the youngest daughter, Talia, planning an escape from a youth correctional center for girls to try and make her flight to the US, where she is a citizen. I love a novel with perspectives from different characters, and we get that here, as we learn about the decisions and circumstances that left the family separated.

The writing in this book is beautiful - impactful and tender at once. The story is steeped in Andean myths and Colombian history. The story was gripping - I was invested in the plot, and I liked how the story jumped back and forth to show the history of the characters.

This book will be out in February 23. You don’t want to miss it!
