Thanks to Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster Audio for the gifted copies of the book and ALC.

I absolutely LOVED the way Patricia Engel wrote Infinite Country - discussing the harsh realities of deportation and undocumented immigration in such a lyrical style - and knew I had to pick up her short story collection.

This is a collection of Latin American stories that relate to immigration, desperation, community, and identity formation. Patricia is a wonderful and compulsive storyteller, writing a variety of narratives from different points of view but threading them together with common themes. I also appreciated that her writing also comes from an OwnVoices point of view, as she is the daughter of Colombian immigrants and a dual citizen herself, which really adds an extra layer to her writing.

Read if you:
- read and liked Infinite Country
- enjoy short story collections
- like reading immigration stories
- want to see a different point of view
