Reviews with content warning for Rape - Infinite Country

This is a beautiful and thought provoking book.

This book made my libral heart brake.

This story gave me all the feels as it walks you through what it is like to be an undocumented migrant in the USA 25 years ago through the prysam of one Colombian family who became separated between borders. It really brings into stark relief all the issues at play and you really do think at the end, there but for the grace of God I. This could happen to anyone.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed Wandering Souls by Cecile Pin. It deals with similar but from a North American perspective. Also this novel has the best last line I can remember in a while.

The prose in this book had me enraptured, underlining at every other page. The story was gripping and page turning.

this is a story about a family who is broken up between Columbia and the United States and how this distance shapes their lives, as well as the hardships they experience in each country.

this could have been a beautifully captivating book, unfortunately I just didn't resonate with the way it was written. it jumps back and forth in time all over the place without congruency and we don't know anything about the characters except what they experience outwardly.

I think if it were written in a chronological timeline with alternating first person narratives, it could have been a 5 star, as I enjoyed the chapters in first person the most.

A really good book.
The writing was so poetic and absolutely enthralling.
A very short read but does it pack a punch.
Filled with so much pain and anguish.
The separation and devastation of this family trying to find a place to exist in peace together.
Very interesting how Andean tales were also weaved in.

We all know the enemy 👀👀
